I bet everyone knows what it's like getting a best friend. I met mine when I was one and ended up knowing were friends when I was 7. Not everyone gets a chance to experience what I am just about to tell you. It's okay if you can't relate. I just want you to notice what I learned about our friendship.
When I walked through the door, I was surprised that my chair was in the living room. ”What! That’s my chair that you stole,” I yelled when I saw it. It wasn't just my chair. Poppy was tied up in a corner of the chair with his arms held back and his mouth closed shut with some duct tape. The duct tape was covered with little penguins. There was one main reason I could tell that Madi did this. If you walk into her room, you can tell that she loves penguins. She goes penguin crazy. As I got closer to the chair, I could see that Poppy needed to be freed. I would do that for him. But once I did, I would just throw him on my bed and go back to my normal life. I guess I would just forget about it. But obviously, I didn't forget about this moment. Because I still remember it four years later. My arms quickly untied Poppy and uncovered his mouth. My legs scurried up the stairs, and into my bedroom.
I didn't pay attention to my sister and if she laughed when I untied him or when I walked through the door. “Yes! I finally have him, “ I said running up the stairs.I took him up to my room and in my head, he was smiling and hugging. I guess he couldn't really hug me in real life. I knew that he was a real person or an actual bear like in a cartoon movie, We would be best friends. We weren't that far apart from real friends. We were very close like real friends would be. I know Brooklyn and I are very close. Poppy and I aren't any different. It is the same kind of relationship. one is human and the other is an animal or stuffed animal. It would be nice if he was human, but I know that a lot of the times, friends depart eventually. So If I own a stuffed animal, I will always have Poppy and he will never leave me. So I am glad that we will be together forever. “ we just can’t be separated,” I said like he was real.
I remember the time that I decided to send him to Madi while she was taking finials. When I look back at on that moment, I question. Was My action for Poppy or for Madi. I was showing kindness to Madi by sending Poppy to her for comfort. Poppy must have been happy to see Madi. I know that they were always reading together. I guess it just looked like Poppy was hanging off of the book.
Already Poppy is getting worn out and is eyes are fading out. His fur is getting all old and is not soft anymore. Most people think that he is beaten up and not cared about. In my opinion, they are not loved if they are in good shape. How Poppy looks is part of life and a sign that I am showing my appreciation for him.
