And for all the nice things you said.

My Kind Friend says I have done very well.
I have learned so many new things.
Important big things.
Like having hugs and scratches.
I only just learned how to do that!

And now my Kind Friend said she thinks I have crossed the Rubicon.
Except I don’t remember crossing any Rubicons.

But soon it will be 2 years since I got rescued.
Sometimes I almost can’t remember how I was then.
But sometimes I can remember that too.

I remember I was very very scared.
Terrified is what my Kind Friend says I was.

And my Kind Friend said some of those things that made me scared.
I can never forget them.
I can never unlearn them.

All I can do is this …
Put my new things I learned on top of those other old bad things.

So that’s what I do.

Love from Sammy
