"Hi mom! I've missed you."
"I've missed you too. How have you been?"
"The other ferrets up here treat me well. They even let me play with
their toys! But I have a question. Some ferrets up here didn't have
very good parents. Their parents didn't care about them like you care
about me. Was I worth it?"
"What do you mean?"
"Was it worth all the paper towels, the 'accidents', the money, was I
worth the vet visits, the big room you had to give me, all the meals you
had to prepare? Was I worth all the duck soup you made when I was sick,
worth the medicine I spat out on your face, the puddles in the middle of
the floor, and even the bites?"
"You were worth all that--and more. You give back something you don't
know you give, something I can't begin to describe to you. You, my baby,
were worth it. Let me ask you something. Was I worth it? The times I
scruffed you because you bit me, the times I wouldn't let you run away
from home, the nail clippings and vet visits? Was the duck soup really
that good?"
"Yes, and I'm so glad you're here with me now. And I am glad that the
other ferrets that didn't get to know what I know are up here dooking and
dancing, enjoying themselves. They can now know what it's like to be
taken care of. Thanks, mom."
-Dedicated to all the ferret moms and dads out there.
