For Those Who Love



For Gary. You were, and always will be my Velveteen Rabbit ... and I will love you for always.

"What is REAL?" asked the Rabbit one day, when they were lying side by
side near the nursery fender, before Nana came to tidy the room.
"Does it mean having things that buzz inside you and a stick-out handle?"
"Real isn't how you are made," said the Skin
It's a thing that happens to you. When a loves you for a long, long time,
not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real."
"Does it hurt?" asked the Rabbit.
"Sometimes," said the Skin , for he was always truthful.
"When you are Real you don't mind being hurt."
"Does it happen all at once, like being wound up?" he asked, "or bit by bit?"
"It doesn't happen all at once," said the Skin .
"You become. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't happen often to people
who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept.
Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and
your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby.
But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly,
except to people who don't understand."

~~ The Velveteen Rabbit by Margery Williams (1922)
