One item of significance that you have had forever?

[Rev. Rye]

I still sleep with him.

I'm something of a pack rat, and I find it hard to part with a lot of things; but two toys really stick out in my mind; one of them is a teddy bear that I wound up calling Nial (apparently after some Gulf War general whose name I overheard while I was barely verbal; my guess is that he's Niall Irving), and a white rabbit with a rattle I called Puffy (after the company that made it: Puffalump. Yes, even then I could read the tags.) For much of my childhood, partially as a result of my love of these toys, I had a love for collecting stuffed animals which I seem to have displaced for a love of collecting books, music, and DVDs. But those two have a specific hold on me: they've been with me since I could remember, and when I was a kid, when the kids in my grade school seemed to be so unpredictable that I couldn't count on them, I knew that I could count on them. For some reason, my core group had two additions: a stuffed sheep (non-anthropomorphised) I called "Peesh", and a replica of Teddy Bean from Mr. Bean. For years I would sleep with them in my bed, and even though I now usually sleep solo, I still keep them under my bed in a small collapsible laundry basket, always keeping the option open to put them back in bed if I'm particularly scared shitless at bedtime by something. Even when I'm on vacation, I usually pack them, even if I only break them out once.

I don't have a photo of them, but for the first two:

Nial is 1368 and Puffy is 1359.

No sign of what make Peesh is.
