Every day that I go to prepare my bed, I always see some familiar faces that bring back warm and fuzzy memories. This would be my pink elephant plush, my bear plush with a pink onesie, and a reindeer plush. My elephant plush is named Elizabeth. She has big ears and a bow on her neck. My bear plush is named Sheetah. She is a brown bear with a pink bunny onesie. Lastly, I have a reindeer plush named Snowflake. He has a red scarf with snowflakes on it. 
These plushies have been with me since the day I was born. They were given to my mother in the hospital by her closest friends. She then gave them to me, and they have been with me ever since. Elizabeth, Sheetah, and Snowflake have helped me through 5 different moves in my life, the most recent being in November 2023. They also helped me through my panic attacks and my social anxiety in middle school. They will forever be important to me and who I am as a person.
