That may sound really sad but I never made emotional attachments to things, still don't. My parents divorced when I was young so I learnt quickly the only real Imortant irreplaceable things were people. God this is depressing but sadly true.

I was VERY young, as this woman was also my mother's lay nurse when I was born. I also remember a stuffed toy cat that I called "Persian Purple." It was a lavender color and had really soft fur, probably real rabbit fur or something.Lolamousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12508347229501155001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7999132639532480534.post-66675834113315594272011-06-15T06:48:20.843-07:002011-06-15T06:48:20.843-07:00Ahh D'oub - Did felty fun inspire, form part o...Ahh D'oub - Did felty fun inspire, form part of who you are today?

Of course, Santa never did things by the book...so the teddy I had was one from Dunes, which happened to be a yellow, white and I think pink striped teddy. So, I forgave Santa and named him "Yellow Nose". I loved that teddy...he was burnt about 2 decades later when a sister complained he was smelly....bit of a sore point...but sure Irish Mammies can’t help it!!! <br />PS love your blog posts, always entertaining and interesting.<br />Best<br />Michelle<br />@MoloneyKingAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14208566966746780786noreply@blogger.com
