After the supper dishes were done, Rachel asked Mom if she could go to the barn to play with Cuddles.

“I guess it would be all right,” Mom said. “But don’t stay out there too long. It’ll be bedtime soon.”

“Okay, Mom.” Rachel scurried out the back door.

She dashed across the yard, eased the barn door open, and peeked inside. The familiar smells comforted her—grain, hay, dust, and even the strong animal odors.

Rachel spotted Cuddles sleeping on a bale of hay. She hurried to pick up the cat. Cuddles purred and nestled against Rachel’s chest.

“I have to wear glasses, Cuddles,” Rachel complained. “I’m going to get them next week, and I’m not happy about it.” Her shoulders rose and fell as she struggled not to cry.

Meow. Cuddles opened one eye and looked up at Rachel as if to say, “I’m sorry you’re unhappy. I’m still your friend.”

Rachel sat with the cat in her lap, surrounded by a restful silence. Even as a kitten, Cuddles had often offered Rachel comfort.

Rachel yawned, stretched, and wiggled her bare toes, as a silent prayer floated through her mind. Dear God: Danki for Cuddles.
