Abby

She makes me happier than I've been in a few months.

She doesn't care if I'm doing research;

she nudges her way onto my tummy

and encourages me to take a much needed break.

Years ago she would nap with me.

It's like time doesn't matter to her.

She doesn't mind that I've been away for a while.

She cuddles me as if I've always been near her,

as if I never left.

Time doesn't matter to her.

She still naps with me.
