Still

Last week, Gannon was up early on Sunday.  6:00 A.M.  VERY early.  By 6:30, I was ready for him to have some trampoline time.  I sent him outside with the understanding that he was required to spend 30 minutes on the trampoline (while his ADD meds kicked in).  6:45 on the dot, in runs Gannon.  He was out of breath, and VERY excited.

G: MOM MOM MOM MOM MOM...I made a new friend!  He's under neath the swing, he is a worm, and I names him Still...cuz he's just always still... o_O  Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, and I need a cup to put him in cuz I need him to live inside, but I can't touch him cuz he's just poisonous, but don't worry, I'm just going to slide him in and I won't pet him yet.

He grabbed a cup and headed outside.  Not three minutes later, he showed up with

Still

Gannon LOVED his fuzzy worm Still.  He told him "Good Morning" every morning, and "Good Night, Sweet Dreams" every night.  He made him a special bed in a Tostito's salsa jar.  He asked to snuggle Still every night.  

He introduced him to company ("Still, meet Russell, Russell, this is Still)...kind of a big deal for an Aspie!

Still remained still for the entirety of his visit with us.  Very....very......very.........very still.

Tonight, Still went to "live" outside.  There was a tearful goodbye as Gannon parted with his best friend and pet, Still the Fuzzy Worm.

He will remain an integral part of our front garden.  As you walk in our front door, please be mindful of our very still, very fuzzy worm, Still.
