In the tapestry of friendships that adorn my life, there's one thread that glistens so uniquely, woven in boundless kindness and unwavering strength, and that would be my dear friend, the octopus. She's a beacon of warmth and love, radiating compassion in every gesture, every word spoken with a gentle grace that's uniquely her own.

There are countless reasons why I cherish the octopus. From the thoughtful touches she adds to every interaction to the fierce protection she extends to those she holds dear, she embodies the essence of safety and comfort. I've entrusted her with a special place in my life, as evidenced by the emergency protocol on my phone—her number nestled among the few I would call in times of need.
One of my fondest memories with Octopus is our regular game nights, where laughter filled the room and bonds grew stronger with each roll of the dice. But it's not just the grand gestures that define her kindness; it's the little things, like offering rides to birthday parties or ensuring everyone has drank their water and has a safe place to rest their head after a night of revelry.
Her words, too, carry a weight of kindness that often leaves me in awe. Once when I was feeling insecure about my continued reliance on her, she told me "space banana even if the house is full and I'm in bed with my husband we will still gladly scooch over and make room for you" and it by far remains one the kindest and most humorous thing she's ever said to me. It's a sentiment that speaks volumes about her character—a blend of humour, generosity, and genuine care that I hold dear to my heart.
In a world that feels increasingly uncertain, the octopus's presence is a source of solace and strength. She navigates life with grace and resilience, even in the face of her own battles like her ongoing battle with her health. It pains me to know her struggles and to witness the toll that her conditions take on her body on occasion, yet, through it all, she remains steadfast in her determination to live fully, prosperously and kindly, a most inspiring way to live.
As I reflect on the impact Octopus has had on my life, I'm filled with a profound sense of gratitude. She's more than just a friend; she's a pillar of support, a guiding light in times of darkness. I'm grateful for all my friendships and I hope to someday honour them all, and here I start by acknowledging the role of the octopus and her hold on a special place in my heart—a place reserved for those who make my life worth living, even in the face of adversity.
So, to Octopus, I say thank you. Thank you for your kindness, your strength, and your unwavering friendship. You are a gift to this world, and I am endlessly grateful to have you in my life. Here's to many more game nights, laughter-filled moments, and shared memories. And here's to a future where your light continues to shine bright, illuminating the lives of all who know you.
