My stuffed animal alligator. His name is Ali. He has been mine since I was about 6. I remember the Christmas that I got him. At first, he just slept at the foot of my bed. I had my stuffed animal Kitty, and she kept my nightmares away. (I've had nightmares my entire life.) So one night I lost her, fell asleep, woke up scared after a nightmare, and pulled him to me, and hugged him as tight as I could. I woke up the next morning happy and realizing that this stuffed animal alligator was the best gift I had ever received. I continued to sleep with my arms wrapped around him, as he took the space of half my bed until I turned 15. Then I decided I was too old to sleep with a stuffed animal.
Now....
Whenever I feel scared I pull him into my arms as I fall asleep, and generally place him on top of me. I will always love him.
What does Ali look like?
He's green and about 4 feet long, 1.5 feet wide.
He has plush green skin.
He only has 1 eye.
He wears a pink T shirt my great gramma gave me.
His tail scales are velvet.
I love you Ali.
