I too had a blankie and didn’t give him up till I was nine or ten and under extreme pressure. My son used to carry pillowcases around, which he called Sheet. Any pillowcase qualified for Sheet.
I likely would have kept mine until that age if it hadn’t been washed. The intimacy of the smells were just never the same. None of my three kids had that kind of Blankie relationship. I love Sheet! Very practical too. ❤️❤️❤️
- This is one of the saddest, yet universal stories of childhood emotional trauma ever
- You should turn it into an illustrated children's book, but maybe too scary. This reminds me of Mo Willem's book "Knuffle Bunny" If you've never read it, you should.
- Finally, every time Dee speaks in the story, in my head I heard Hilary's imitation voice of Dee speaking. That made me smile ❤️
Alas after that washing, things were never the same with me and blank Blankie. No squares survive but they live on in my heart always as my first unconditional love.
Oh no! She mended it too. 💔 Thank you Pia, as a fellow blankie lover, this spoke to me. May blankie rest in peace.
She knew not what she had done.
