devastation and despair
SP lost her beloved toy of all toys; the bear that she has slept with pretty much every night since she was 3 years old. Snowy the very dirty and bedraggled white bear travels back and forth between Mommy's house and Daddy's house in SP's backpack. We think Snowy fell out or wasn't properly placed inside when I picked her up last night.
Last night was an interesting night.
I made a poster including the offer of a cash reward; we spoke with the principal and the person in charge of the after school program. I really hope Snowy turns up.
SP did find comfort in the idea that if she had to choose between losing Mommy, Daddy or Snowy that it was least bad to lose Snowy. She also accepted a substitute bear of somewhat similar appearance ("Candy Cane", husband of "Snowy"). She stated that "maybe some of Snowy's love rubbed off on Candy Cane", and she took a little comfort in knowing that she has actually owned Candy Cane since she was 3 months old.
