| Looking at my life now, in the early years, and everything in between, I realize just how much I have changed, how much I have lost. In particular, the first loss I can remember was painful; it was my beloved blanket that I used every night. Patterned with scenes from Winnie the Pooh, Paddington Bear, and other childhood favorites, I was appalled when my mother introduced the idea as using it as stuffing for a bigger quilt! Where would she even contrive such an idea? My negative response must have settled the situation then and there - right? Wrong! Within the next few days, my blanket was missing. Surely, my mother was not the evil culprit; it must have been in the wash or someplace else. Yet, I noticed something strange when after two weeks my blanket was still missing and my mother's quilt was finished. It couldn't be! She wouldn't do that! Where was my blanket? She took her quilt to a sale and when she got back I confronted her. My worst fear was true; my mother snatched my favored blanket, held it captive, and mercilessly stuffed it inside her quilt. What could I do but feel sad? The quilt was sold, my blanket was gone, and I had to face the harshness of growing up. That day, I lost a part of my childhood - a day that would have eventually came, but to a five year old, it felt like the world stopped. | |

jburt1 | Re:, 04-21-03 8:43pm LoL - okay, this was exagerated just a little ...you have to do that to make your stories interesting! But it's still true : ( Anyways...I'm in yearbook too! |
| fetherdstr479 | Re: Re:, 04-21-03 8:54pm which part was exaggerated?
|
jburt1 | Re: Re: Re:, 04-21-03 10:52pm Well...none of it is false (except it was a strictly a Paddington Bear quilt and no other "childhood favorites), but I'm not certain that my mom "held it captive and mercilessly stuffed it into her quilt"...although she did use it was stuffing for another quilt and sold it : (

| fetherdstr479 | Re: Re: Re: Re:, 04-22-03 9:05am well to a five year old boy, it's perfectly logical and im sure that she did hold it captive, against it's will...no im just kidding. well who knows? lol no i dont have a specific role but next year i think i might might be assistant editor. lets keep hoping?
