When all hell breaks loose, I lock myself up in my old childhood room and search for a small, almost forgotten box in the back of my closet.
Petty, my old teddy bear, smiles up at me and I already feel better - the feeling only increases when I pick him up and hold him close to my heart.
Adam isn’t here anymore. Life isn’t worth living. So I climb upstairs and let Petty comfort me.
His hand on my shoulder, squeezing tight, he whispers, “Everything will be alright.”
I want to believe, and I relish in Archie’s touch at last.
