Red Thread...

There is an ancient Chinese belief which states that there is an invisible red thread that connects each of us to all of the individuals who have been, currently are, and will in the future be important to us in our lives.

This red thread can stretch, twist, and bend… but will never break.

Garyldine to the Rescue

Katie has developed a strong fondness for The Little Mermaid over the last few months. At Christmas, she received a Little Mermaid bath toy, and she was thrilled. Up to that point, she would swirl her washcloth in the tub, and the swirling washcloth was Ariel. She played with her new toy in and out of the bathtub.

Katie had only had her toy a short time when she got very sad. Ariel's hair had come off the top of her head. Katie wasn't mad. She was sad. Every time anyone mentioned Ariel, the sad look came onto her face. I told Katie I would get some glue, but I didn't have any then. Her response was, "How about Garyldine? Garyldine has glue."

When my mom went to see Garyldine, she took Ariel and the unattached hair, and Garyldine fixed up the mermaid with waterproof super glue. When Katie saw her toy again, she was a very happy little girl.

I was really sad when Ariel's hair came off. 

She wasn't as beautiful as usual. 

Garyldine fixed her! 

Garyldine's my hero!
