The Life of Tintin, Year 11

An extraordinary, legendary,
a wonder, a miracle, a forest elf,
one of a kind, unique, special,
a true angel on earth, an inspiration,
a beacon of light, of pure innocence,
joy and vibrant, radiant love.
He was there,
on your screens, all over the world,
for all to see, for all to feel.
A true legend, has passed on.
Tintin was someone special, to us all.
But to me, Paps, he was that and so,
so much more than that.
Tintin,
you were my little red furry son,
my 3rd child and you were my life saver.
I might have saved your life once but,
you saved my life many more times.
You have saved my life,
more times than I can count.
You kept me alive,
when I didn't want to go on anymore.
You brought me through,
some of the toughest times and trials
of my entire life.
You were there,
you were always there for me,
you never left me,
you never abandoned me,
until now...
I will continue your legacy,
rescuing, helping and
nursing other squirrels, so they too,
can have a fair chance at life,
just like you.
In the meantime,
I hope you're having lots fun
with Mamma Coco, Tiger and Miss Marble.
As well as the many squirrels we,
you and I, have helped throughout the years.
Don't make to much trouble until I get there.
And I hope,
you're getting lots of cuddles
with big sister Nicole.
Tell em' all that I said hi.
I miss you all so terribly much
and I can't wait to see you all again.
Fly high, shine bright my son,
my best friend, my angel,
my pride and my joy...
