I was at the orthodontist working on another knitted cat and the lady in the billing office got very emotional talking about her teenage niece that has cancer and spends a lot of time in the hospital and how the kids in the oncology ward would love to have cats like that -- mostly to know that people are thinking of them and to hold when they're scared.
I never even though about teenagers wanting them.

I can remember moments vulnerable enough to tightly hug a soft stuffie . . . in secrecy of course . . . as a teen. Never underestimate the power of a stuffed animal.
GEO -- so true.
