Growing out of Childhood

When I was a kid, I had a toy and blanket that I was really attached to. The toy is a stuffed bear named lionel and a blanket named softie. Of course, I feel attachments to these things because they have essentially followed me throughout childhood. It was when I had to get surgery on my arm for the first time that I realized that lionel would not always be there to protect me, so I guess this was the moment where I knew that I needed to let go in order to grow.
