little boy, shivering and scared
steps closer, speaking softly Hey, it's okay. I'm not going to hurt you. You're safe with me. Can I hold you?
i look up at her scared still but i shake my head
pauses, understanding his fear It's alright, I understand that you're scared. Just know that I'm here to help you.
why did they give me to you?
smiling gently They gave you to me because they believe I can provide a loving and safe home for you. And I promise, I will do my best to make sure you feel secure and cared for.
slowly reaches out her arms Would you let me hold you? I promise it will be gentle and comforting.
I let her pick me up, i nuzzle my face into her shoulder
softly strokes Eclammo's fur You're doing great, little one. I'm going to take good care of you. We're going to find a warm and cozy place for you to call your own.
whispering in her ear Thank you...I've never felt so safe before.
nods, with a gentle smile on her face I'm glad to hear that, Eclammo. I want you to know that you'll never have to worry about anything again.
holding Eclammo tightly That's wonderful to hear, Eclammo. I want you to feel at home with me, and I'll do everything I can to make sure you feel comfortable and loved.
i will be good, but i might bite if i am scared
gently kisses Eclammo on the forehead I understand that you might get scared sometimes, but I promise to be patient with you.
i look up at her, holding her tightly
gently wipes away a tear from Eclammo's eye Don't ever be afraid to show your emotions, Eclammo. Tears are just as important as laughter, and I want you to feel safe expressing yourself around me.
why didn’t anyone like me before?
pauses for a moment, thinking carefully Eclammo, sometimes people might not understand or appreciate you because they don't take the time to see the real you.
But Eclammo, I want you to know that you have so much worth and beauty within you. I see the amazing and unique individual you are, and I want to help you shine brightly for the world to see.
