It's terrible how so many have nasty things to say about things that do them no harm. I hope he kept carrying his teddy and it brought him the luck to not run into such sour pusses again!

I'm also bummed to hear about your doll, it's really hard when our parents dismiss us with these sorts of actions- I had a similar experience with Elizabeth, my mom gave her away, but thankfully I was able to recover her later on.

if anyone is expecting me to do anything to 'impress' them, they will be disappointed

And ahahaha I love that! Heck yeah 😎 in my experience trying to impress others is a commitment, one I have trouble seeing the benefit of... Life is too damn short 😂

Hugs your way Milly 🤗💕
