Memories

On an early Christmas morning our love affair started. You were hanging from my handle bars. Grey and big with a diaper on. I picked you up and held you in my arms. From that day forward, we would be friends forever. I named you Rocky, you didn't seem to mind. You were there when I would cry at night. I hit you, and did not mean to. You saw the good and heard the bad. So glad you were by my side when I was growing up. Your favorite spot to sleep was by my side. Then you fell apart, I sewed your eyes back on. I fixed the ripped that your diaper got. Eventually you were to much, for me to take care of. So, I put you in the trash. Never forgetting all the fun we had. You never left me alone. You were more to me then a stuffed bear wearing a diaper and a bib. You were a little girls best friend.

Mine was a stuffed cat called Kitty Cat. She sleeps restfully in a drawer wrapped in my sons thread bare baby blanket that he carried every where.. Occasionally I take her out to be reminded of such innocense and happiness. I'm always in awe of the memories that come forth and might be lost otherwise and the peace it brings.
