Hi WW,

**hugs** to you-- I'm sorry for a part of the memory you have.
One of my big sister's had a Thumblina doll-- I can see her in my memories. I hope you can find one some day.

That brings a thought to my mind....... when I was 7, I was given a little pink metal elephant pin by an abuser-- never wore it-- I recall I put it in a little coin purse and then put that in our attic. ....... Now, fast forward years and years later.... a part of me wants to see that pin--- but I wonder----- why? Could it be that some (like me) are looking for the connection that validates the abuse? or sometimes I wonder.... is it a twisted way of knowing that for what ever reason--- I was wanted at some time in my life??

WW and Thumbalina
