Show And Tell

"All of us have moments in our childhood where we come alive for the first time. And we go back to those moments and think, This is when I became myself. (Dove, Rita)" http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/keywords/childhood.html

What can I truly say about what I have to show you? You may just see it as a baby blanket. With baby Mickey Mouse, baby Minnie Mouse and baby Pluto, sleeping peacefully. A childish thing, but to me it is so much more. It was there from almost the very first moments of my life. From when I was brought home from the hospital, to now. When I'm cold it's the blanket that keeps me warm. When I'm crying, it helps wipe away those tears of sadness. When I would here the yelling, it helped block out the loud sounds.

Now as the years go by the colors may fade from being washed, there may be wholes from when I dragged it by my side, and there may be blood stain from when I had a horrible boo-boo. All I know is that the picture on it may be fading, but the memories I have with it are still shinning bright and will never fade away. Not anytime soon do I hope to put this blanket away.
