"Crying over a stuffed animal, how silly"
Tigger has been part of our family for 4 1/2 years now. He has attended every event, every bedtime, wiped many tears, been saved from dogs teeth, used as a teether and just brought joy. The stress of never losing him has had its moments as no replacement has ever made the cut.
Lying in bed my son tells me that he does not need Tigger anymore and we should give him away! My shock was noticeable. I enquired the reasons and it was just that he does not need him anymore. In desparation to prevent this happening I suggested that we dont give him away but find a special place for him that he can always watch over us! My son says no it will be better to give him to someone that needs him. He then looks at him gives him a kiss And says: " I will miss you, I love you". The tears are rolling down his cheeks and I am crying. I have not been brave enough to yet part with him. Tigger leaving marks end of my son being a "baby" and despite him being ready I am not. Despite this being a positive and mature step, I would like to hold on just a little longer.
