 * Something that is important to me right now**

I've had it since I was born. A white fluffy elephant, with red and black spots on it's belly. My mother's best friend gave it to me, when I first came into the world. Now just sits in my brothers cot, with the rest of his teddies.

When I was little I spent hours in my room just playing with the elephant. I use to take it absolutly everywhere, where ever I went, so did the elephant.
