EEYORE

A - 365

Our friend gave me Eeyore about seven or eight years ago when I was struggling with depression.  In case you were wondering Eeyore wasn't chosen because he was gloomy like me, but because our friend had Donkey from Shrek who I often tried to smuggle out with me, but he couldn't get hold of Donkey so Eeyore was the next best thing.  Eeyore is bittersweet because he reminds me of a really difficult period in my life, but he is also reminds me of some very lovely friends who helped me through that difficult period in my life and so to me he represents hope.  Despite having a gazillion soft toys of your own you love my Eeyore and when I look at this photograph he still represents hope; my hopes and dreams for you.
