Ode to the Blankie...

Life can be so hard sometimes...

Ode' To My Blankie...
My name is Turner Reese and I am as sad as I can be...
You see, my favorite Blankie has gone away from me...
It was here when I left to go to school just tucked up in the bed...
Then when I came home to find it - I found crisp clean sheets instead.
It seems the maid just must have grabbed it up... with the dirty batch.
If only I was here to save it - it would not have gotten snatched!
We asked if anyone had seen my wayward little Blankie...
They tell me "NO" and now I am so very sad and CRANKY!
I miss it so - even though - it was old and worn and torn.
It was my prized possession, since the day that I was born!
Please pray that very soon... it will find it's way back...
Cuz till it does my little life feels so very, off track.

Turner is in mourning over the loss of his Blankie. He was so very attached to it and the loss is like a death to him. I wish as his mama I could do anything to find it. He cries big crocodile tears wanting to go "on a Blankie hunt". We have talked to the housekeeping staff and they are on the lookout for it. Poor guy - he is just heartbroken!

We found the same brand online - but I am sure it will not be the same. His Blankie - after all has made it through 5 years...it has seen plenty of tears, a little blood, gone through several hospital stays, been stained and bleached, dragged through the mud...gone to Hawaii and Arizona, been used as a super hero cape, used to protect him during haircuts, trips to the doctor, gone to school in his backpack when he was 2 and a half, it has been used to create a fort, was a pillow for the puppy, and has been by his side every night since he was born.

So - all you prayer warriors - pray that Turner's Blankie is FOUND somewhere here in the housekeeping department - it will make one little 5 year old - the happiest boy on earth!

XOXO
