aug 28 2007. my blanket!

ok so sunday night i was sitting in the living room with my parents when my mom all of a sudden mentioned the fact that she threw my blanket away. This isn't an ordinary blanket. I've had this Afgan forever!! My mom made it back in college and she gave it to me when i was born. Now being 1 of 7 kids if your parents gave you something they gave one to everyone. If they made you something they made it for everyone but this blanket was mine and just for me- the one thing that i have from my mom. You're probably wondering how i could be so sentimental about this, but if only you understood. So sunday night we're sitting there and my mom says that she threw out my blanket because it was so worn and that she would just make me a new one.. i went hysterrical! I ended up going dumpster diving and went through the garbage a couple times when i realized that it went out with the last weeks trash..=( cry cry. so i told my parents at 12:00- o'clock at night that i was taking the car and driving up to the dump right then and demanding they give me my blanket back. My dad said that that wouldn't work and that they just happened to bury the garbage after they picked it up... So i was going to go out to the shed and grab a shovel when my dad told me that i couldn't go anywhere.=( cry cry. so i had no choice but to go to my room and wallow in grief over my loss. A part of my life and child hood was dead and i could never get it back. NEVER!!! My mom felt extremely terrible...she had good intentions. I just couldn't get over the fact that my blanket was litterally 6' under mixed with Joe's down-the-street banana peel! Wouldn't you be heartbroken too?! I was devestated!! My mom was afraid that i wouldn't forgive her but even though she accidentally did that i love my mom more than a blanket and she did have good intentions. My family says i over dramatize things which is probably true but...
