Because my mother was originally from the U.S.S.R, (the part now known as Russia,) she and my dad had to go through quite a bit of trouble in order to eventually make my mother a U.S. citizen, and during this “adventure” they ended up travelling through many unique foreign countries. My object story is about my stuffie named “Grisha.” He was originally a gift from my father to my mother while they were travelling in foreign countries together, but I do not know exactly when or where he was given. Grisha has been with me for as long as I can remember, and I only know his story because my dad told me it when I was around six years old. Although I have many stuffies, Grisha has always been my favorite because of his deep history and connection with my family.
