A First


On Saturday morning, I had just backed out of our driveway and headed up the street to run an errand. And then I saw something that I've never seen before. Up ahead, there was a dark spot in the road and as I approached it and steered to the right, I discovered a dead squirrel. Clinging to its neck, was a little baby squirrel, obviously mourning the loss of its mama. When it saw my car approach, it scurried off to the nearest tree. I can only imagine what sad, squirrel feelings were stirring in that little critter's heart! I couldn't get that touching scene out of my mind all day long.
