The Comfort Of A Warm Blanket

I can understand why Linus carried a blanket with him everywhere he went now. At the end of a rough day, there is no better feeling than crawling under a warm blanket and pulling it up over your head. My blanket protects from a sometimes very cruel world and I can be asleep within a few short minutes. Snoopy, Lucy, and sometimes Sally were always trying to take Linus's blanket away from him and he always held on for dear life. When I was about ten years old my grandmother made me an old-fashioned hand made quilt and gave it to me when I got my very own room for the first time. I carried that blanket with me all the way through college and after I graduated from college, I passed it down to the next line of my family that was coming up. Every time I get in bed and crawl under my Wal-Mart bought blanket, I cannot help but think of my grandmother's blanket and all of the comfort and protection it provided when I was growing up.
