I remember, whenever I was upset as a child, I would call out my lovey (dropped it in a taxi in another city, another country) and be heartbroken and unconsolable all over again. I feel her pain. I hope you find Pen-Pen ♥

May Penguin find their way home and may there be solace for everyone feeling the ache of loss. Thank you for this beautiful writing!

"Things become family because we care for them, because we choose to divest our finite energy away from one avenue and pour it into another. N loved Penguin into our family, caring for him as we care for her. She considered his feelings, as I do for her. I loved him because she did."

You touched my soul with this. I hope Penguin finds his way home.

Oh, my heart is breaking for N and Penguin! Maybe there’s still a chance. Buying The Father Christmas Letters now for my son.
