7. This Week's Stories and Requests for Help/Blast from the past

Here's a reprint of an interesting story from November 2003:

If after reading our stories, you suddenly remember one of your own, please share it with us, and maybe we will publish it here. Send your story to newsletter@tias.com --

When I was around two years old, for Christmas, I received a Fisher Price Joey "lap doll". It went everywhere I did. It was lost and we were not able to find another one to replace it because they had become hard to find. (way before the days of Internet. When the doll was lost, he was missing his little

blue jacket. I have kept it all these years in a box with other childhood memorabilia. My Mom sent me an email saying she had found one on an on-line auction. It took some research because we didn't even remember what the doll was called. He was affectionately remembered around our house as "the little boy doll". I went on-line to take a look and it was perfect! The best thing about the doll? No, it wasn't mint. Even better. The picture of this "little boy doll", who I know now is named "Joey", sat staring at the camera, freckles across his nose, missing only his little blue jacket. It is as if my very own doll was somehow rescued and waiting for me to reclaim him. I went and pulled the little jacket out of the box to show my husband. He was raising his eyebrows at me but was also a little impressed. Naturally I bid on and won the

doll. And the "Little boy doll" should be arriving in the mail today or tomorrow. I will promptly put on his blue jacket and he will be complete! Very few times do we get to reclaim a small piece of our childhood and hold it in our hands. With on-line auctions we can bid on our memories and have them shipped to our door. Isn't the 21st Century great?....Joy A. --------------------------
