[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 390206, member: 6705"] I got a doll for my... Oh... first birthday? Made out of denim, with a red-and-white checked shirt (part of the body), sneakers, huge eyes, brass button nose, yellow yarn hair. I loved her hair all off (like the Velveteen Rabbit). She was REAL. Then I lost her. I forgot she existed for many years. And when I was 20... I was sitting by the Christmas tree... And there was this tissue-paper wrapped, lumpy package from my Grandma to me. I picked it up... No idea... Got one layer of paper off and burst into tears (extremely happy ones!!!). My Mom and Dad were confused. I told them what it was right before I pulled her out. She was a little skinnier, but no stuffing hanging out. She had hair again! Mom was impressed that Grandma had found another one... I told Mom, NO, this is HER, this is the one I have had forever... And proved it... By the nose, where the shine was all dull and rubbed off... And the crayon marks, faint, but still there! She's got pride of place with my other beloved stuffed animals. But she is #1. And I will never, ever, EVER forget that my Grandma knew exactly what I needed that Christmas... [/QUOTE]
