I’m willing to cry on camera for you, gailsimone, and I’m showing it to the world because I appreciate you just that much.

So once upon a time, there was a girl who loved dinosaurs. When she was four years old, her brother bought her a stuffed dinosaur for Christmas and she named him “Littlefoot” after her favorite character from ‘The Land Before Time’.

He was her favorite and she loved him so with an unwavering devotion for years to come. Unfortunately, Littlefoot was taken from her during Hurricane Katrina. She searched her room to see if he could be recovered but he was nowhere to be found.

Nine years passed and the girl had no luck finding him anywhere online so she resigned herself to never having that same type of dinosaur plush again.

Then, one night on twitter, Gail Simone asked everyone what their favorite toy was. The girl told her story and Gail became determined to find and gift the girl with this dinosaur once more.

Suddenly, as if that was the much needed sign, the girl and Gail worked together and found the plush! Gail, out of the kindness of her heart, purchased Littlefoot for the girl.

Both Gail and the girl were pleasantly surprised when Littlefoot made his way into the girl’s possession two days ahead of schedule.

And here he is, in the girl’s arms almost nine full years after she held him last.

And this time, I’m not letting him go.
