My Childhood is Over...Goodbye to Andre'

Well I knew this day would come. I had to accept that my security pillow could not be fluffed anymore and I broke down and bought a new body pillow.

Andre Lester Hayward had been in my possession since I was nine. He was originally my brother's body pillow. Andre' was given to after his last back surgery he had when I was five. My brother never really liked it so I commandeered it. The pillow was cute and yellow and was my size. I loved laying on the pillow. It was like a cloud to me. Andre became my security pillow. . Andre has dried many of my tears. I have hugged him through many trials & tribulations in my life. He even endured the happy joyous scream of exciting news. Every sleepover & college I went to, he went He was right there. Don't asked me why I named him. You will have to find nine year old me and ask her.

I don't have the heart to throw him away. I am going to add him another pillow in another case. But that picture will be the last time my head directly touches that pillow.

The new pillow has arrived. It's pretty comfortable and I think it will keep my body aligned at night.

In tradition to that nine year old I will name the pillow. The name shall be Conrad Chase Hayward. Hope Conrad is as relaxing as Andre. Hopefully Andre is on my bed schooling him on my emotions.

Night Night Andre'!!!
