@soulsings His name was Grandpa Pooh, he was an old Winnie the Pooh stuffed animal with overalls and bushy eyebrows. My mother once tried to sell him in a garage sale and I panicked and removed him from the bin and put him in my room. Then I lost him on a trip and haven't seen him since. It was very traumatic for me to lose him and I still cry about it to this day. I do suspect that my mother got rid of him or lost him on purpose because that's just the type of thing she'd do. I replaced him with Giraffe(e) and still cuddle him every night.

I had a few American Girl dolls. Three actually. I still have them somewhere.
I have a raccoon plush i love dearly, my stepdad gave it to me and it sed to be his, while my stepdad isnt the greatest i still love it
When I was about 3 my grandmother sewed together a kit, it had a happy monster on one side and a super scary monster on the other side. (they were HAPPY-MAD) Probably why I am in therapoy now a days lol
Blessings, Day

@speedyslug kids really invest a great expectation of comfort in love in their stuffed animals. Thank you for sharing.

Still is my favorite plush Skye from paw patrol
Why are we given such difficult prompts? Like whoa I have think about my whole childhood and dig through all the trauma to unearth my favourite toy! I might as well have been asked to climb Mount Everest lol.

My favorite was a pillow case. I was holding it the whole day when I was a child. I always put it to a safe place than one day my drunk father came home and throwed it to the fire place. Later on I got a new pillow case, wasn’t the same smell but got used to it. It ended up in the same place. Now I have my favorite pillow case since at least 10 years. Nobody will ever take it away from me. And I also have a pillow heart. And my dog likes to roll over on them. Haha

Growing up with a parent suffering from addiction is hard and I can only imagine the pain you felt when the object that gave you comfort as a child was thrown into the fire. Nice that you got a favorite pillow as well as a pillow heart again, it seems it also gives your dog comfort!
@kala sorry your dad was so insensitive. He must have been in a lot of pain and suffering to act out so meanly.
Glad you get comfort from your pillow case now.
@soulsings I am not sure what kind of pain he had but he had a beautiful wife and 2 nice children. So much memories about him and I can’t really recall a good one.
