As a matter of fact, if I appeared to be attached to any one toy, it was not only taken away from me, but destroyed.  I learned early on that the only comfort I could have as a child would need to be invisible, kept hidden, and come from within myself in the form of fantasy, make believe, or thought.  As I grew older, I kept some items hidden in a box, none of which were soft and cuddly, and these items were meant for my protection only.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for your question,<\/p>\n<p>Karen<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Comment by Cynthia on October 9, 2008 6:23 pm Dear Karen, I was just wondering if you ever had a favorite stuffed animal. doll. or toy that brought you a sense of comfort as a child?
