When I was little I just couldn’t live without my stuffed pink pig that I named Piggy. It was the most meaningful thing that I possessed, and I loved him. He had a darker pink poughting nose and the stuffing in his stomach had worn away, making him look hungry.
While I had him I took him with me everywhere. He sat next to me in the car and in my lap on plane trips and kept my company. There was not one night that I slept with out him. Piggy protected me while I slept and shared my dreams. Piggy also cuddled with me when I was sad and was always there to comfort me. He shared most of my childhood favorite memories with me and, in all my childhood pictures Piggy was always there in my arms absorbing my love for him.
Since then, I still look at him and remember all of the loving memories that I would of never of had with out him.
I like how you give a lot of examples of where you took your stuffed animal. It shows that you really couldn’t go anywhere without it.
Wow… That is such an amazing piece of writing. You describe it so well and I can now picture piggy even though I’ve never seen him.
I love the way you show don’t tell what your pig looks like. I also love how you give examples of the memories you had with him. Your conclusion was great, it really went back to the beginning and stayed on topic. I love your blog and your writing is really more. I will defiantly be coming back to read more soon.
I liked all your details! I had something just like that, I took it everywhere! I later lost it In a House fire :(. I like how much effort you put into this great job!
I loved reading about your pink pig! To be honest I had one too, but mine was named Ellie. She went everywhere with me until one year at sleep away camp I left it there! I was so sad. Really enjoyed reading about this.
I love the detail you show about your pig without actually saying it. I Have a pillow pet that sounds a lot like the one you had when you were a kid.
Thank y’all so much! That means so much to hear that you all like my writing!
I love the way you describe him. He sounds like the ideal stuffed(or not so stuffed anymore) animal!
We would love to see one of those childhood photos of you clutching Piggy in this “Media and a Memory” post that requires a photo, video, or sound clip ;- )
Your writing is beautifully vivid, but let’s also experiment with the effectiveness of pairing writing with visual imagery this week. Let me know if you decide to update your post.
