Care bear

Describe an item you were incredibly attached to as a youth. What became of it?

I had a pink care bear, about six inches tall, with two hearts on her belly. “LovesAlot” was her name. She was a gift from my grandfather. I carried her everywhere. I even slept with her and another teddy bear, from my grandmother, through my mid teens.

Now, she is packed away in the basement with several other childhood memories; things that will never be forgotten, but that can’t be part of the day to day, because we all have to “grow up”.

It is a sad reality – being an adult strips away things from childhood that perhaps should be clung to.
