I'm glad you GD found comfort in her gift.
Many years ago my Dd was in NICU for a week. The children's hospital ladies auxillary"pink ladies" gave out puppets to sick children. It was quite a big deal around here. My DD hated hers-they were little pink clowns. Everytime she saw it she would try to throw it away. Still hates clowns to this day.
it made me feel bad because i know they were made with the idea of giving comfort and smiles to sick children, but it didn't have that effect on DD. It also made my sad that such a simple thing brought such bad memories for my DD.
