Day 15 → Something or someone you couldn’t live without, because you’ve tried living without it.

Whomever reads this is going to think I'm a complete idiot, and quite frankly, I'm ok with that. There are two objects I simply cannot live without. It's not my cell phone or an ipod. It's not photos or a book. It's 2 things that have sentimental value to me. So much so, that if God forbid anything ever happened to them, I'd be crushed.

The first is a blanket. Not JUST a blanket, but a blanket that my Grandmother hand crocheted for me when I was a child. Not a baby blanket. It's a full size blanket, and one of the warmest things in the world. She spent hours upon hours working on this blanket. My mother claims that it was being made for her, but I fell in love with it and so it became mine. My Mother never even got near it. My Grandmother finished it and handed it over to me. My Grandmother died many years ago, when I was just 9. That blanket has more meaning to me than any other object I've ever owned. I'm very possesive over that blanket, may I add. No one else is allowed to use it. Scott can't even consider touching it, or he gets his ass reamed out. I won't even allow my daughter to use it, unless she's laying with me. Ridiculous? Perhaps. But that blanket means more to me than I can say.

The other object I can't seem to live without, or rather, sleep without, is a stuffed Winnie the Pooh. Now we're not talking a small bear here. We're talking a large bear. I've been sleeping with that bear as a pillow for the past 13 years. I sleep with it every single night. It travels with me. Hell it was a carry on during a flight a few years ago. It's the most comfortable pillow in the entire world. It was a gift from someone a long time ago, and while it holds some sentimental value, it means more to me because I cannot get comfortable without it.

Every one has something, whether it be from child hood or present time, that they cherish and can't be without. I really wouldn't know what to do without either and I hope I never have to find out.
