Description Hey guys, its me Gus ^^. I wanted to share you something personal about my self. When you ever get older, do you guys have that one special thing that you have since as a child and continue to hold it on since it has a place in your heart. For me, that special thing is a dog plushie. So you might be wondering, what so special about it. Well this plushie has a long history with me.

I still remember the day when i first got the plushie since I was 4. It was given to me by a special person that my mom use to babysit long before me and my sister were bored. Since then, I remember taking that plushie everywhere I go, to swapmeets and even to parties, and I always had a blast playing with it. I felt like this plushie meant everything to me in the world and I never wanted to let go of it.

...but than, that dark time came. You see when I was 8 years old in my third grade, I remember placing my plushie in the washer room to be clean as I headed off playing with my sister and her friend. But by the time I came back to retrieve it, it was gone. I first I thought it was getting wash, but my mom told me that she didn't remember putting my plushie in the washer, which had me worry. I start to go around the house looking for it and first the searching started to turn to hours, than to days, and than to weeks. I still remember that I was sooo devastated that I lost the one thing that made me happy since I didn't really had friends due to personal reason in school that will not get into. I still remember of feeling sad and lonely that I felt like the world stop and felt like I had nothing to comfort me during my bad times I had at elementary school. I got to tell you, it was one of my darkest moments that time.

Eventually, I did moved on and even when I had other stuff animals that time, none of them were special than the one I had for the longest. But than, a mercury had happen. After over three years without the plushie, I remember going to a thrieft store near by my house, I was walking around looking at stuff and my sister comes up to me and tells me that she did not believe what she found. We went to the toy section and up in one of the shelf, there sitting on it was...my dog plushie. I couldn't believe with my own eyes, after three long years, I had find my plushie was in a thirft store. I even check the details of the plushie and it had the exact markings that I left it many years ago. I eventually showed it to my mom and she was surprise by it. She started remember that she had boxes in the washer room where she was going to get rid of and thought that my plushie must of gotten mix in it by accident. She evenually bought the plushie from the store, even if it was expensive, and got to tell you, it was the most happiest day of my life.

Eventually during the next few years, I was paranoid that I would lose that plushie again, so I kept it in my bed, making sure it stayed as it was, and always kept it there until it needed to be wash.

Today, I still have it to this day and I wouldn't trade anything in the world for it. That plushie has been there with me for most of my life and it holds so much memories from my good times and even to bad times. You can say that it just a plushie, but to me, its more than that, it is something that has been there for me when ever I need it, it like a childhood pal, just like from my favorite comic strip "Calvin and hobbes." It still hold as a special place in my heart and am proud to continuing to holding on to it until my time with it comes to end.

So with this, I made this special art with a help of this song from a show that I been watching and I think it looks good, hope you guys like it.

Also, recommended listening to this song to set in the mood of it ^^.

That reminds me of a dollhouse that I used to have the me and my brother loved to peices and played with all the time. It had a special place in my heart back then.

I lent it to my neighbor since I dint use it much anymore, but I told her if she didn't need it anymore to give it back to me, and then weeks later her mom Sold it.

That is an amazing story! Reminds me so much of Toy Story, and how this dog plushy is probably your "Woody". I wonder what kind of adventures your toy dog got into within those three years between lost and found! It probably missed you as much as you did.

I still have my old stuffed blue bunny ("Bugs", kinda obviously named), my old stuffed blue bear ("Hug Me", sown on his feet), my old stuffed mousie ("Speedy", again, obvious name), my old stuffed white doggy ("Al Puppy"), my old stuffed big brown bear ("Christmas Ted", he still has the Christmas bow on him), and probably many more that are packed away somewhere.
I'll probably never sell them off or donate them, as they have been with me since I was a wee tot and they still provide me comfort when I need it as I'm nearing the end of my third decade alive. If anything, I'll probably pass them on to my kid/s (if I ever have them)

Personally, as I'm typing this up I'm listening to an old favourite song of mine from Care Bears 2: A New Generation, Forever Young (Carol Parks) -Β www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBnaJO…

Ahh yes an old stuff that connect to you forever
An item that always remember the old day.
I still remember my old pink teddy bear.
The one that my grandmother gave it to me when i was 3 years old, i still love that doll so much. I use that doll as a confort zone and a friend when i was kid. All the bastard i call "school friend" in my elementary school use to make fun of me because i was different than them. Back then i was a kid who had a big imagination (I still had my imagination till today) and i always try to get it out of my head by pretending what happen inside my head (sometime i pretend i was a knight, sometime i even pretend to be fire man and all that stuff) they call me weirdo because of that (they even use the word autistic, FUCKING AUTISTIC as an insult). But my stuffed bear will confort me when i fell sad. I still had it till today. I love him the way i love my grandmother. Knowing that my grandmother passed away three month ago i was heartbroken when i heard that. She died of lung infection and i miss her so much. But atleast i got something to remember her and all the thing she did to make me happy. An old stuffed pink teddy bear



I hope you rest well my grandmother

I can relate with this. When I was in 5th grade, my teacher had the class pick a theme for it. The theme we chose was Team Law (to refer to the time when the Twilight series was so popular. We even had shirts to prove it and we wore them every Friday. Then (even though this is from last year) I have my first show shirt (a shirt that shows the band you are with plus the theme of the show) from my first year of marching band.

No judgements here dude, I still have my old stuffed Panda from when I was in Preschool named Pandi, after all these years with it, I never got rid of it. It's a childhood toy that I hold very dear to me, especially during the depressing times living with my parents, Pandi was my plushie that I held close when there was an argument, when the cops were called over because my brother was screaming and rampaging through the house and making death threats to my parents, etc. I kept Pandi close and hugged him tight for comfort.

I see what you mean. It those kinds of moment where we need to find comfort inorder for us to move on. For me, my plushie has always been like a security blanket like Ilinus and his blanket from The peanuts. It does hold alot of precious memories and am just glad to have it to this day ^^.
