Holly Mitchell checked the big chest of toys in the living room for
a sign of her daughter’s security blanket. Ruby, who was four,
had been crying up a storm all day, wondering where her precious rabbitshaped blankie could be. She had probably dropped it somewhere, or
possibly their teacup Chihuahua Babette had taken the blanket and buried it
out in the backyard. But wherever it was, she better find it. Ruby’s big
brother Sylvester had been trying to comfort his little sister, but to no avail.
Without Mr. Longears she simply would not be comforted.
“Here, give her this,” said Holly’s mom, and surreptitiously handed
Holly a blankie that looked almost indistinguishable from the original. “I
got it from the same store,” she added under her breath. The four of them
had gone to the mall that evening, and had just now arrived home.
“I guess it’s worth a shot,” Holly said, and proceeded to make a big
display of ‘discovering’ Mr. Longears under one of the couch cushions.
“Ooh, look who I found!” she cried.
Ruby’s face lit up like a Christmas tree, but as she grabbed for her
precious toy, she said, “He smells funny!”
“That’s because I washed him,” Holly explained. “Even rabbits need a
bath sometimes.”
Ruby gazed up at her with those big eyes of hers, then smiled a gummy
smile and proceeded to bury her face into her blankie. “I missed you, Mr.
Longears!” she declared solemnly. “Don’t run away again!”
“Mission accomplished,” Holly told her mom with satisfaction. The
mystery of the missing blankie hadn’t been solved, but at least Ruby was
happy again, and that was all that mattered.
It wasn’t always easy to raise two kids on her own, but fortunately she
got a lot of help from her mom and dad. After her husband Eric had died in
a freak accident four years ago, she suddenly found herself a widow, and
the adjustment, coming on top of the grief of Eric’s death, had been painful.
But somehow they had all managed to find a new normal and adjust as well
as they could.
Even though the kids still asked about their daddy from time
to time, especially Sylvester, who had been four at the time, they didn’t
seem to have been adversely affected too much. They both did well in
school, and Holly tried to make their home as warm and cozy and happy as
she could.
“I don’t think you should go,” her mom now said.
“Why? Can’t you babysit them?” she asked.
“No, it’s not that. It’s just that…” Mom made an ineffectual gesture with
her hand. “I don’t know. Maybe this is just me being silly, but I’ve just got a
bad feeling about this, you know. Especially since…” She glanced over to
where the kids were sitting on the couch, both admiring Mr. Longears.
“It’s not going to happen again, Mom,” Holly assured her. “Freak
