Kate held his paw as she sat next to him, "Papa would not agree with me being so gentle with you. I want you to be happy, feel safe, and experience all you have missed as a child. When you are ready, you can hug me, talk to me, share your fears, thoughts, and wants. Look at me in the eyes. I care about you and wish I could erase your fears. I know you fear so much. Jasper, you can snuggle up against me anytime.  You want a hug or need assurance your doing the right thing hold my hand. Try to look me in the eyes. I truly care about your feelings. You can tell me anything and get hit or hurt. You say so little. You can say anything to me. Do you want me hold you? Anything just ask."
