I think I wholly missed the child-near-death portion as a kid. Now reading it would probably kill me, though.

Oh my god, I still remember the first time I saw that (in elementary school, in the cafeteria; the movie was on a REEL!) -- I was traumatized for weeks. It's such a sad, sad, sad story. And a kid gets really sick! I didn't even know that kids could get really sick.Jennifer (ponderosa)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17712875613623664156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33659348.post-28658913903251425752008-12-04T12:23:00.000-05:002008-12-04T12:23:00.000-05:00oh sniff. that story has been breaking my heart e...oh sniff. that story has been breaking my heart exquisitely for years....but i do think i'm not quite ready for O to wrap his mind and heart around the loss at the centre of the beauty of how toys become real. or like you say, maybe i'm not ready to let go and have him become scuffed up and "real".Bonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14403701620708365171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33659348.post-70200912699910458062008-12-04T10:28:00.000-05:002008-12-04T10:28:00.000-05:00My Mom said to me the other day that classic line ...My Mom said to me the other day that classic line about how children are really on loan to us or something similar and you know it rings true.<BR/><BR/>Try as we might to extract ourselves sometimes, the day will come when we realize the grip was never really all that tight.
