I'm moving.  I'm moving far away from my family.  This is not because I hate them, not because I need to get away from them...not because I hate where I live.  I'm moving for work.  Actually, I think my flight is set for 10 days from now.

Why am I telling you this?  It goes along with my post.

My prized possession is my new blanket.  I got recently for my birthday (yes, it was my  birthday and it's OK if you missed.  Honestly, don't be feeling bad about it)  But I need to take this time to thank fuzzypenguin and nineler for wishing me a happy birthday.  The two of you made my day a lot more special.  Thank you!

My mom made me this blanket actually.  Yep, she made that giraffe and that tree out of fabric...little bits of fabric all sewn together to create a masterpiece.  Each spot on the giraffe has been sewn on, each new color of fabric has been sewn on.  All those amazing branches have been sewn on as well. She painted the sunset too. My talented and beautiful mother did this for me.  I love it. 

Ok, so what does this have to do with me moving.  My mom told me that whenever I need a hug from her I can wrap myself in the blanket and think of her.  I just love my mom so much.  I'm going to miss her and I can foresee plenty of nights wrapped in my blanket...my prized possession.

What is something that is special to you?  What is something that reminds you of a person you love?
