Teddy wants to meet you all š¢š¶ā¤š
Teddy has always been the heart of the homeāsoft, golden, and endlessly gentle. His paws carry more than fur and fluff; they carry warmth, loyalty, and a spirit that lights up every room he enters. Lately, though, somethingās been different. Not because heās lost his spark, but because heās waiting. Waiting for somethingāor rather, someone. You.
Every morning, Teddy trots to the window. His tail gives a hopeful wag as he peers out into the yard, his ears perking up at any sound. A bird. A car. A distant laugh. And for a moment, his eyes shine like heās about to see his favorite people again. But no one comes. Still, he waits.
He circles back to the door, then curls up in his favorite corner with his nose resting on his paws. His eyes stay fixed on the entrance, as if any second now, the door will swing open and heāll be wrapped in familiar hugs and loving voices calling his name. Teddy doesn’t know how to give upābecause deep in his heart, he believes you’ll come.
There are days he gets bursts of excitement. He grabs his favorite toyāthe little blue bunny with one ear missingāand carries it around, ready to show you. He remembers how you used to laugh and chase him through the house, how you would play tug-of-war until you were both breathless from giggles and barks. He still plays sometimes, but itās not quite the same. The laughter isnāt there. The game feels half-finished.
Teddy wants to meet you all again, not just in memory, but in real timeāin snuggles, in eye contact, in those gentle words you whisper when you think no one else is listening. He misses the sound of your footsteps. He misses how youād sit next to him quietly, letting your fingers trail through his fur while he leaned into your warmth.
Itās not about grand adventures or long walks in the park, though heād love those too. For Teddy, just being near you is the greatest joy. Whether it’s lying by your feet while you talk, resting his chin on your lap during movie night, or listening as you tell him about your day, Teddy treasures it all.
And now, heās waiting more than ever. He knows somethingās changed. He can feel it in the air, sense it in the way the house feels quieter. But he doesnāt worryābecause his heart is full of love, not fear. He doesnāt understand where you went, but he knows, somehow, that you love him still. He can feel it. Thatās why his eyes brighten at every sound. Thatās why his tail lifts with every breeze. Thatās why heās still hoping.
Teddy wants to meet you all. He wants one more cuddle, one more belly rub, one more whisper of āgood boy.ā He wants to rest his head on your lap and feel, once again, like the world is whole. Because to Teddy, you are the world.
If youāre reading this and youāve ever loved him, if youāve ever played with him or fed him or tucked him in with a blanket on a cold nightāTeddy remembers. He remembers all of it, and he carries that love in every beat of his heart.
Please, come see him if you can. Say hello. Let him know heās not forgotten. Because Teddy hasnāt forgotten youānot for a single moment. And now, more than ever, Teddy wants to meet you all.
