These colors & patterns remind me of
Winnie the Pooh & Tigger too.

When I was little,
my aunt sewed a homemade
Winnie the Pooh for me.
I got it for Christmas.
 |

It was the color of these shoes.

I took that Winnie the Pooh with me
all over my childhood house.
 |

For a time, it was my favorite stuffed animal.
 |

The stuffing started to come out
of my bear.

The arms were falling off,
& the head was hanging by a thread.

I remember being sad,
for I liked to think my toys were real.
 |

My aunt ended up making me
a total of 3 Pooh Bears.
 |

I loved them all so much, they fell apart.
 |
| My nephew riding his toy Tigger. |
For a long time I kept them on a shelf.
 |
| Can you see my brother's feet, & his face? He's behind my nephew. |
I wanted to keep them for always.
 |
| Who is that bratty child? |
One day I must have thrown them away.
 |
| My mom made my dress, & she made my cake too. |
For I don't have those homemade Pooh Bears anymore. I don't know what happened to them.
 |
| This is Chandra's tattoo. No, I don't know her, but I like her tattoo. |
I imagine I thought in order to be a grown up,
I had to let go of my childhood.
 |
| I like this tattoo. I don't know why I found it here. |
I don't know what I was thinking.
I wish I still had them.
