Awesome thread!!! I shed a couple of tears reading through some of these wonderful memories.
Here is one of my favorites:
For anyone who doesn't already know, I'm obsessed with finding Rabbit from Winnie the Pooh in the parks. He is a super rare character and I am constantly on the Rabbit hunt. Anyhoo, we were having breakfast at Crystal Palace and the subject of Rabbit came up with our waiter. My nephew asked, who was then much younger, why does Rabbit not hang out with his pals? The waiter explained Rabbit was very busy and sorry that he couldn't make it. After the meal the waiter came over and presented us with a short note (which I still have) from Rabbit apologizing for not being able to be there because he was busy tending his garden and it was signed Love, Rabbit!
