A Mouse in the House: A true story about the mice who came into our home after Hurricane Sandy

In 2012, Hurricane Sandy devastated countless human lives, many of whom are still recovering in 2018. Steve and I considered ourselves very lucky; the only damage we sustained was a tree falling and destroying our back-yard shed.

There are also many untold stories of how non-human species were adversely impacted by Hurricane Sandy. One such story is of mice that sought refuge in our home. Steve and I believed that the mice were also casualties of Hurricane Sandy, as we thought they must have fled from our shed in terror to the closest safe place--our house.

These mice inspired Steve to write the true story A Mouse in the House.

The lesson in this story is to show compassion. Some of us are more fragile than others and need to be handled with care. Showing compassion is not a sign of weakness. It is a sign of great strength of character and a powerful human spirit. Steve showed great compassion for the little critters in this story. He had a great capacity for love and compassion for all living beings in his life. That is what made him a giant among men.

However, the true and lasting legacy of this man was his humanity. In 2015, Steve Tarpinian passed away at the age of fifty-four. Before he left this earth, Steve positively impacted so many lives. His kind spirit and good nature was apparent to all who met him. He gave so much to so many with no expectation of a return. It wasn't just human beings that experienced Steve's compassion. He was so sensitive to the fragility of the weaker among us and valued all life, whether it was insects that ventured into our home, a baby bird fallen from its nest, our two rescued domestic rabbits or the mice in this story. Steve was a gift to all of us; a gift that was only ours to borrow."
