My wife and I spent the past 72 hours caring for a raccoon with a traumatic brain injury. She died last night as I was petting her. Who knew that raccoons purr like cats when you rub their ears, or grab your hand and pull you back if you stop petting them.

The only difference between any two species is the amount of time between them and their common ancestor. The real miracle is not humankind, but life itself in any form. We must honor all the creatures.
