Did you have a comfort item when you were younger, like a stuffed animal or something? If so, what was it?

I really didn't. I had a little pillow with a music box in it... but nothing I really hung onto.

I did. I had a bright pink rat that had a music box in it that was a gift when I was born. I slept with it every single night for years. Also, when my Dad died when I was a senior in h.s. my Mom got me a stuffed Simba. Simba slept with me every single night, no matter if I was at my bff's house or mine, until I got married to my starter husband. Then he sat on the nightstand Even after we got a divorce there was some sort of stuffed animal that slept in the bed with me. Now that David is working nights, I have taken to sleeping with an amazingly soft stuffed lamb he got me for Easter. Yes, I know, I am an adult. I'm not afraid to sleep alone or be by myself, but I have a habit of waking up in the middle of horrible nightmares, almost on a night basis, so the lamb is a comfort since David isn't there

I get the basic comfort thing... when the hubs is away I let the dog sleep on the bed, lol. "Starter husband", hehe, good one.
