Symbol someone else carry

All I can think of is my friend.  She has this blanket with a Ragley Ann and Andy print all over it.  I think this thing is more than dated and ugly.  I was actually making fun of it before I found out what it meant to her.  She has had this thing since she was a baby.  It was her first blanket.  Where she is from it is a tradition.  She says not only that but it reminds her of her father.  He tucked her in at night under this blanket.  After hearing this I understood.  I felt not so tall but, as small as a golf ball.  I understand now.  The symbolism and importnace that this blanket has in her life.
