[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is like throwing away a favorite lovey.

I left my favorite lovey on the seat at a restaurant when I was 6 and my grandpa wouldn't let me go back inside to retrieve it (we were in the parking lot, so not far away). I cried myself to sleep for weeks missing that lovey. It still hurts a little. Nothing else from childhood effected me the way that did. It's the only thing i think of when people talk about my grandpa.[/quote]

This makes me want to cry. [/quote]

My greatest parenting moment ever was going back to a hotel in Vegas to get ds’s lovey. The look on his face as we stood at the car and he realized it wasn’t with him got to me. It was a Herculean effort that involved a 10-minute walk back to the hotel, giving a credit card to get the room key back, and showing up at the wrong entrance to the hotel while spouse and kids were waiting in the car at a different entrance. It was a huge hotel with 2 entrances. We made it to our flight just in time.

He was very appreciative. Years later, I don’t hesitate to play that card when I need to.  :lol: [/quote]
