Something strange happened two nights ago- I’m still trying to process it. My Grandma and Grandpa came over late at night and kept the new Tiny Humans in a different room and watched them overnight. My pawrents were getting a bit sleep deprived, to say the least, and really needed a full nights' sleep.
Now, I know I’ve complained about the Tiny Human's existence, but um… something weird happened. I was pretty upset the little ones were not in our room. I was pacing and super uncomfortable with them not being with us. I kept putting my head on my pawrent's bed trying to communicate my uncomfortableness and encouraging them to go get the babies! Now, I know they were in the same house, but um…. Maybe I’m growing a little attached to them and don’t like to be away. There. I said it out loud. I kinda like them.
Our hearts are pretty amazing when you think about it. I thought my heart was 100% full. I love my pawrents and my extended family so much, I thought I was at max capacity. Then these little guys came home and my ability to love expanded. That’s pretty cool.
I still get frustrated they take so much of my mom's time, but I get it. They require a lot to help them grow. They can't even consistently hold their own heads up for pete's sake. That's pretty delicate.
A few days ago my back legs were pretty stiff, so we went to the vet and I got some medicine to help me. I feel so much better! I also feel relieved that if something's wrong, my family still takes care of me. I was worried they'd forget about me. Turns out their hearts also expanded with the Tiny Humans and I didn't get pushed out! Love is a pretty intense thing. Turns out, it's completely irrational and unconditional. The tiny humans have done absolutely nothing to earn people's love. Yet, they are already fiercely loved. Of all the emotions in the universe, I’m thankful I've experienced this one. Love has filled my soul with a lot of joy (another emotion I'm thankful for).
Who do you love unconditionally and irrationally? Today is a great day to reach out and remind them. We all need to know we're cared for and not forgotten.
