Nerbal, the baby squirrel

DO NOT GO GENTLE INTO
THAT GOOD NIGHT


Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rage at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

-Dylan Thomas

A thousand thanks beezzer, for taking the orphaned baby squirrel under your wing.

It is now little Nerbal, who is watching over you, and your family.

Gutted beez

Just gutted............... Nerbal became a part of MrC's and My daily routine checking in occasionally to see how the ickle fella was doing.

At least he knew what a loving family was for his short life, and we all know Nerbals passing was not for lack of effort or love.

It's funny how such a short life could touch us all in such a profound way.

RIP Nerbal

Oh man... I am really sad to read this, it actually sent me into some tears friend. Me and my boy have been following this thread. My boy is not here right now, but I do wanna let him know.

Thats sweet you guys buried him under his tree. You and the Mrs. did a very awesome job and this all happened for reasons unknown it seems. It sure did bring happiness in a lot of people on here following this thread. And now we are all grieving together as well...which imo..is kinda a beautiful thing.

Rest in Peace little Nerbal

And peace and hugs to you and your family beezzer

I am so sorry for your loss of Nerbal. I have been reading ATS for years & I created an account to log in & tell you what a wonderful & beautiful thing you did for little Nerbal. I try to read this thread daily and smiled to myself last night when I clicked on the link to read his latest update. I was shocked, deeply saddended and shed tears for that little angel.

Thank you for rescuing him & provding him all the love and nuturing he needed. It truely was a wonderful act.
