Is it possible to love something too much? I love my children and would do anything for them. But, sometimes it is the simplest things in life that bring us happiness. My son Parker, for example, loves his stuffed animals. Well, to be fair, he plays favorites. His favorite toy is his stuffed Woodstock -- you know the flittering little yellow bird that keeps Snoopy company.
Woodstock has been Parker's consummate friend for the past three years. As a result, Woodstock is suffering from signs of being doted upon day after day. Much of his feathers (yarn) have fallen out as if he has just been through extensive radiation therapy.
The moral of the story: sometimes when you love someone with such intensity, we must remember to show them the love and care they need -- or it is quite possible that all their hair (or feathers) will fall out!
