About two years ago, my aunt rescued a squirrel from a parking lot. Me and my cousin had just got home from school when we saw my aunt on the couch with something in her hands. She told us to be quiet so we wouldn't scare away this harmless animal.When I saw that it was a squirrel I got really excited. I've always been fascinated by squirrels because we don't really see them in Brazil. We nurtured Diggity (that's how we called it) back to health and for months we kept it as a pet, but we knew it wasn't right. When we felt that Diggity was ready to go and live on her/his own, we let it out. Diggity would come back almost every day to get something to eat and I just couldn't believe it! After that, I thought a lot about how there are things in our life we have to let go and believe that it is always for the best. I thought Diggity wouldn't remember us, but she/he did. Diggity also taught me a lesson when I saw that this harmless animal was then able to do things without our help and that all we needed to do was to just let it go.
