Jelly Bean...lost and found

When our granddaughter "K" was small, she adored a stuffed pillow doll that she named Jelly Bean. They slept together every night for many years.
Her mom was not a pack rat and I am, sort of, so when K left for college, she asked me to keep Jelly Bean for her.
For some odd reason, I recently went through closets and packed up things we don't often use. I put Jelly Bean in a bag and took her to a storage building we have.
A few days later I thought, "What have I done?!! What if Jelly Bean gets eaten by mice? What if I can't find her? K will never forgive me!"
Thank the good Lord I found her today. (Jelly Bean, not K.) My granddaughter SOME DAY may learn of the time her grandma lost Jelly Bean.
But not if I can help it.

I think Jelly Bean will likely have a new life if your granddaughter gets married and has children. I thnk you are a great grandmother to care for her, Jelly Bean that is, granddaughter is a given.

We really do things for our grandkids. I suspect she'll be content to let Jelly Bean stay here.

I guess Jelly Bean is about 22 years old.
