TO BE NEEDED

My recent desire for a pet may be related to our recently empty nest. What is it about that need to care for someone or something? As a young mom, someone always needs you. And though some moments felt overwhelming, part of me misses those days. Yes, they will always need me at some level. And I will always be their mom. The difference now is I realize how very much I need them. ❀️

MEET MALIBU

You were scared
No purring
No quiet meows
Only hiding
Not in an
Unfriendly way
You were scared-
I think she needs me
Even though
The thought of
Taking you home
Made me nervous
Pets bring responsibility
But here we are
And I think maybe
I need you, too

  1. Oh, Kelley, she’s darling! And gorgeous! I understand the “need” to care for another living thing! What a precious pet, my friend. A win-win for Malibu and all of you! πŸ’œπŸ’œπŸ’œ
