📝 Foundling Note ✨

Millie

Every evening begins the same way.

Tiny paws scamper home.

Little noses peek around the corner.

And before long,
every mouse has found their favourite place.

Right beside Millie.

She never worries about fitting everyone into her little blue shoe.

Love has always been wonderfully good
at making space.

The day is done.

The fire is warm.

The kettle is on.

And the best part of all—

everyone is here.

The happiest place is wherever we’re together.
