So, I have this blanky. As you can see in the above picture it is pink and beautiful, so soft to the touch. I have had it for as long as I can remember and there are many photos of me in various stages of my life with that thing wrapped around my shoulders or head. Easter morning, Christmas morning, late night television watching.....it is my ultimate comfort.
My mom used to have to make me wash it because I hated putting it in the wash and preferred it with a healthy layer of grime. I can still hear her saying "Catherine, it's filthy!"
I came home from work the other night, exhausted and ready to curl into bed. "Look," Tania said, "I washed your blanky, it's drying."
Some things never change.
This morning we wrapped Tito up in my blanket for a modern family portrait. He looks embarrassed, which is funny with cats. Do you have something like a blanky you grew up with that makes you feel safe? PG Tips is also up there......and of course FuFu.
