something dumb
yet, it meant the world to me.
ok, so here's the story... my baby blanket was very special to me, i took it everywhere. even when i was too old for a blanky, i still used it to cover at night or to snuggle on the sofa, and i always had it when i was in the hospital. needless to say, (but here it is anyways) my blanky was a huge part of my life. so, every couple of months i take it out of my closet, hand wash it, fold it up, and put it back. (i'd still be using it, but it was hand crocheted and it's 19 yrs. old... if i continue to use it, it will fall apart.) now, here's the sad part... when my parents split up last year, my dad put everything we own in storage. unfortunately, he never had to manage money and had been living with a double income for 20 years. so naturally, he had no idea how to manage his finances, and he quickly went into debt. because he couldn't pay the storage, everything in it was auctioned... i just found this out yesterday. when i realized that i would never see my blanky again, i was overcome by depression. then i just felt stupid because i'm 18 and this was a stupid security blanket that i grew out of years ago... but i couldn't help but cry. my family moved around a lot, and we lost a lot of priceless things because of that. so, at a very young age, i got used to the fact that i would never have a lot of priceless possessions to look back on, but i always thought that i would have that stupid blanket forever. turns out, i was wrong... nothing in life is certain, everything can be taken away, and eventually will be.
peace out.
