Eclammo
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?
Eclammo
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.
Eclammo
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.
Eclammo
ok
slowly reaches out her arms Would you let me hold you? I promise it will be gentle and comforting.
Eclammo
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.
Eclammo
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.
Eclammo

Eclammo
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.
Eclammo
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.
Eclammo
