This is my Puff. He was a gift from Santa when I was maybe 6 or 7, and one of the oldest objects I own. When I dug him out of my childhood closet at my parent’s house a few years ago, I was thrilled to discover that he was still relatively intact. He has been loved to pieces, and is missing an ear and a leg to show for it. My seedlings are interested in sewing, and so last year we endeavored to repair Puff. But the sateen fabric is so thin that those seams have again ripped. But that does not stop any of us from loving him. He lives on my oldest’s bed part time, and on my own bed for the rest. We take turns “filling Puff with love,” then trading that love back and forth for each other to sleep with. I adore him, even now. When I hug him, I am filled with the comforting feeling that only nostalgia and innocence can create. It is lovely to think about all that he has been through with me, and it is truly a gift to share something so special and important to me with my sons.

Oh cute little guy! It's great that you can now share him with your own kids! My wife has a wombat that the kids now play with... sometimes a bit roughly... he's a big one (probably about the same size as your Puff...) and so they ride on him!

A wombat - fun! I love that young kiddos are so interested in what their parents were like as young kiddos. It is great that your wife also has something tangible for them to feel a little bit of what her childhood was like 🌱
