my little cousin was obsessed with llamas, and collected over 15 stuffed llama plushies. one of the plushies she got was this sheep one because it similar to a llama, and whenever I would visit her she would let me hold it while she held her plushie and we would spend time together with our plushies. it became “my” plushie so when she passed I was able to keep it

What does the object smell like? (feel free to use several words or make up words to describe it)

very light and airy, if it’s been washed it smells like lavender fabric softener  

What does the object feel like? (feel free to use several words or make up words to describe it) 

it used to feel extremely soft and airy, each little strand of hair was so light it would feel like you were holding a cloud. after a year of being held it’s become a little stiffer but is still extremely soft. it’s filled with little beans so it’s very malleable and nice to squish, and it’s face feels a little rougher than the rest of the body

Why do you need or use it? 

to remind me of her and feel like i have a little piece of her with me. i sleep with it every night and sometimes want to bring it with me to places for good luck

What would you feel if you lost the object? 

very very upset, like i’d be losing her all over again
