Keaton's Blankie

My son and his most prized possession-
Journaling:
This blankie is one that you've had since you were born. It was made by the young women in our ward in West Jordan. There are these little fringes on both ends and there is this one fringe on the corner that you call your 'tickle.' You use it to tickle your neck, your feet, your hands, your belly. It has been your little tag-a-long on every outing, every bedtime, everything. When you cry, your blankie is the first thing you ask for. When you go to bed, it's the only thing you need or you won't sleep. When you are watching a movie, your tickle is always by your side.
The other night, I was in agony. I had a pinched nerve in my back and had been crying for 2 hours. Daddy came home and tried to help me get off the floor. I had not ever felt such a painful sensation in my back. The pain ran all through my leg, and down to my toes. You woke up from the crying and came downstairs with your blankie. You saw the tears and immediately handed me your blankie and said, "Here momma, this will help you. I'll let you hold my bankie." I'd always known that the blankie was a source of comfort for you, but it was in that instant that I realized just how much of a comfort it really is. For you to show such a selfless act by giving me your most trusted form of comfort to help me meant so much. Instead of crying out of pain, I was tearing up out of love. You showed so much love to me that night. Aside from wiping away my tears with your shirt, you laid by me on the floor, you brought me water, and you shared your blankie with me. Baby boy, this will always stand out in my mind. You offered me your love, your support and your most prized source of comfort. Thank you for loving me and helping me when I needed it most! I love you!
