I took your advice and I'm listening to classical music, something I really enjoy. I think I'm also going to dig out a really pretty marble that a tech at the hospital gave to me years ago and put it in my pocket today. It will remind me that people do care about me.

"What is Real? asked the Velveteen Rabbit one day.

"Real isn't how you are made," said the Skin Horse. "It's a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real."

"Does it hurt?" asked the Rabbit.

"Sometimes," said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. "When you are Real you don't mind being hurt."
