SO AN AMAZING THING HAPPENED TODAY...
Let me start with a short prologue:
Many years ago, I had fussed and moaned until my parents bought me the wonderful Gengar* teddy bear that I had seen in a shop. It was pretty damn rare to find a Pok
émon teddy bear, let alone my favourite one so I needed him!
So I bought him, cherished him and kept him around all the time until Matric (Grade 12/Final year of high school), when we had to move. Everything was put into boxes/bin-bags. After moving into our new complex, I unpacked everything important but was told that my mother gave away our teddy bears.
I. WAS. DEVASTATED.
I missed him and my other favourite teddy, Rainbow, for 5 long years AND THEN SUDDENLY...
Today, I was told that some of our teddy bears were in a bin bag.
A sudden glimmer of hope shone brightly from everywhere. I could find him along with Rainbow.
After my helpful sister rummaged through the bin bag but couldn't find Rainbow, I was quite disappointed...
THEN... a flash of purple...
My wonderful Gengar* managed to make it through to come back to me!!
His supposedly-evil grin as friendly as ever.
His fake-evil eyes full of love.
I was ecstatic. :D
Look at him :)
So glad to be back with me.
Also: let it be known that Verushka scoured the globe in order to find me a replacement Gengar*.
I appreciate such a beautiful gesture. Perhaps she can help me collect more Pok
émon tho :)
Yes. So Gengar and I are reunited once again.
I hope others are reunited with their favourite childhood friends as well. May you have the luck that I had.
