I go to move the
mother first, picking her up by her feet. Out of
the pouch comes this one last little baby, not more
than 4 inches long, hissin' at me with its mouth
open like it's gonna take me on. Her mother had
given her life for this baby. If it wasn't for her
larger body getting hit by the cars first this baby
would be dead too. So I empty my shirt pocket and
pop this little kid in. Right away this kid was
warm. I could feel it against my skin. Good sign.
So I gathered up
the whole damn family in a box and took 'em home.
Dead ones in the ground, Carnation Infant Formula
via eye dropper for the little girl.
And there she is
getting all grown up. Sometimes I'd be sitting in a
chair and she'd walk out of her bed and up on my
lap and go to sleep. Yeah, I fell in love with her
big time.
This picture was
taken when I knew I was going to give her away the
next day. You see, some people who are now good
friends were looking for a little girl just like
her and the Spirit that moves all things made sure
we met.
