Personal Narrative: Balloon

Children typically have a favorite toy, stuffed animal, or blanket. For me, that is my care bear named Balloon. Balloon is light blue with a white stomach that has a red balloon, which is how she got her name. When I was younger, my mother won her for me at a carnival. Since my mother won her for me, I used to think of Balloon as a connection to my mother whenever either one of us were not home.

Balloon is very comforting when I am sad and scared. I also talk to her a lot about my problems and my feelings. I plan to have her around for many more years. Balloon may be frayed, have some stains, and her tag may be almost gone, but she is my forever VIP. She started off as a care bear from a carnival, but through the years, she has become so much
