Goodbye to an old Friend

For some reason, as I was lying in bed the other night, I started thinking about my pillow.  I have had that pillow for well over 20 years.  It's been a good friend to me.  I've had many good nights sleeping on it, as well as crying on it occasionally, and using it to prop me up to read in bed.  

I started to think about how many bugs might be living in there, then I was thinking about how many dead bugs were in there.  That totally grossed me out.  So the next day, I took one of the pillows from the spare bedroom and claimed it for my own.  It is much cleaner, as you can see from the photo.  I read online that a pillow should be replaced every year.  So, I guess next May I'll have to get myself a new one. 20 years is way too long!  Goodbye my old friend!
