I miss my Security Bolster deeply. It was taken away from me when I was 7. One fine morning not too long ago, I woke up realizing my Beloved Bolster was not around. I went to ask around but everyone said they didn't see it. I searched my house for one entire day but could not find it. I cried for one whole week.
It was thrown away by someone in my household. The culprit is still on the loose and I have no idea who. No one admits to it. They only laugh when I bring up this event. =P
I have some very lucky friends who still have their Security Pillow/Bolster/Blanket. Even though it's really old, it does bring back childhood memories.=D
Do you still have your Security Pillow/Bolster/Blanket?
If yes, what is its state now?=D
If no, how was it taken away from you?

LOL.. wat a nice name, security bolster/pillow =P i did have one of those pillows till i was around 8-9 yrs old like that.. BUt how did i lose it in the end, i cant quite remember le except that my mom only tell me that the pillow is very dirty and smelly.. hehe.. Well, i din cry but i was upset as i cant use my fingers to tickle the sides of the pillow to sleep anymore.. As i had spent years moulding the sides of my pillow sharp, so that it can tickle my fingers and i can sleep more soundly.. Then with the new pillow, i have re-mould to sides again and in the end, i give up, just force myself to sleep =P

Yea.. My mother said mine was smelly too. It had the smell of milk, saliva and etc. LOL
I think it was my mommy, granny or uncle who threw it away. But I cannot confirm.
Moulding the sides of the pillow sharp?? Haha.. interesting habit of yours. =P

LOL I still have my pillow. When I was little I would sit on the couch with it sucking my thumb LOL I don't suck my thumb anymore mind you but I still use my pillow. It's a feather pillow and they don't weare out too easily so I use it still.I doubt I will ever give it up. My son(5) and my daughter(17mths) have blankies. I don't take things like that away they will grow out of it when they are ready.

When I was a child I used to have this pillow with me all the time. When I reached puberty I come to sort to some of my friends as my security. When night falls and time to rest, I grab my pillow for comfort but the same pillow as I used to have before. Thanks.

I still have my blanket from when I was a baby. I don't take it out much anymore as I don't want to dirty/ruin it as it's a bit old and worn out around the ages but I do take it out from time to time just to look at it.

No... my mother threw mine when I was in 2nd grade. It was a stuffed toy which was made into a pillow. I was sick and vomited all over my security pillow and had to let them take it away. I couldn't sleep without it for a while and wished I didn't vomit on it. All of my siblings also grew up with their own security pillows but was thrown out too by some reason.
Now, I have a security blanket of some sort and can't get a good night's sleep without it. Even if it gets really warm inside my room, I'd snuggle inside it and I wake up all sweaty.

nope, I do not have them anymore.
Like you, mine was taken from me when I was about 7 as well.
It was because of wear and tear that my teddy bear was thrown away.
I have not had a security item since then.
Guess I also out grew the need for a security comfort.

I still have my security teddy bear. My parents dared not to ever take him away from me. His name is Radar and he'smissing an eye and his arm fell off not too long ago. Martha Stewart I ain't so I did the best job I knew how to sew it back on.
