Answer
This sounds like "The Fall of Freddie the Leaf" By Leo Buscaglia.
That's not the story I'm looking for, but thanks for the suggestion.
I'm the author of the original question, and I finally found my answer. I'ts actually not a short story, but a chapter of the novel "Bambi," entitled "Winter." Here is a link to the chapter, which is short and takes about five minutes to read. It's a real charmer.
