Soft. Floppy. Always there. He listened to my silly fears and held my biggest dreams. He was comfort, joy, and my faithful friend.
But somewhere along the way, I thought I’d grown too big to play. I put him on a shelf. I traded time with Buddy for games, screens, and noise. And I forgot.
This book is a reminder. That what Buddy gave me—presence, joy, and comfort—is still what we all need. And more than that—
that we can be a Buddy for one another. Because the world doesn’t need more scrolling. It needs more kindness, listening, and showing up.
