Blankieeeeeeeee? That is me, me who has been there from day one. I started in Mone's arms (Lauren's older sister) and ended up in Lauren's arms. I started in Lauren's arms 09/28/1993. From that day on, I knew that she my true owner. Some ask why is she so special to me.. I respond the same way every time, "I have been there through all of her accomplishments, failures, heartbreaks, the times she loved, times she lost, times she failed, times she has succeed, I watched her grow up, how can she not be special to me?" We have been through it all together for 18 going on 19 years. She comes in the dorm or where ever I am and says "Where is Blankie?" She freaks out when I can't be found. She knows that I have been there to see all the people come in and out of her life. Who can compare to me? NO ONE. I know this for a fact. I know all of Lauren secrets, secrets that the world will never know. She needs me, so of course I am important to her. Some might think it is crazy for a grown ass woman to have a baby blanket, BUT WHO CARES? If you had me in your life, you wouldn't want to let me go either. I seen everything there is to see, I have heard everything that is needed to be heard about Lauren. I could write a novel about that woman. I know for a fact I will not get passed down whenever Lauren has children, she is to stingy when it comes to me. That is good though, because at least I will always know that I have a place in Lauren's life, and in Lauren's heart. As long as I have that, I am okay. I have been waiting for an opportunity to tell my story on why Lauren is important to me. I thank you for this chance to show my voice. I am pale green and white, so if you ever see me, say hello. My name is Blankie, with an "ie" not an "y"! That is irrelevant because we will NEVER meet, but at least you will have some clue of who I am.
