This Possum Believes In You...
All you have to do is be yourself.
This possum knows that you won't let him down.

But they were her babies. All three were crossing the road with the youngsters keeping close to mom.
I was on my nightly walk (which I combine with Pokemon Go) and those 3 critters were the best part of the walk.
They weren't as adorable as your opossum though. 
And teaching the kids to leave the possum alone, even if they thought he was dead.
When I lived in Portland, Oregon I'd have raccoons traipse through my backyard. They always stopped by the tiny backyard pond, looking for fish, which were stocked there at one time. I once saw a baby raccoon fall into the pond and the parents fish him out.
One summer night in a different Portland house I heard a terrible racket out back. I went out with flashlight and found the noise was coming from my neighbor's yard. When I shined my flashlight over the fence I found a pair of raccoons mating. My light caused them to flee, so I guess I have to plead guilty to raccoonus interruptus. Mea culpa. 
I've seen kids run screaming from a possum playing dead once the critter decided to bolt.
I enjoy wildlife, too. Got a major thing for bugs. I watched slugs mate once. They were hanging from my house, near the front door. Writhing and dangling, oozing slime - but they seemed to be enjoying it.
I was curious and grossed all at the same time.
I must admit that I killed a lot of snails in my yard when I was in Oregon.
Which brings to mind a memory from childhood in California. Our neighbors across the street had relatives visiting from India. One night, I saw them looking through their bushes with flashlights. For snails to cook.
Later in life, I came to appreciate escargot. Yum!
Just don't ask me about what I did to slugs and snails with magnifying glasses and salt when I was a kid.
When I'm feeling down.
