I used to have an imaginary friend called Robin...I don't know if it/she/he was a girl or boy but we would have long chats every night before I went to sleep...about our day, school etc. I reckon I was about 5 to 9 years old and as an only child I suppose it/he/she was a sibling substitute. I can still see it/he/she standing by my bed now. Robin gradually disappeared, faded with time. I expect it/he/she went on to become some other poor lonely child's friend....any one out there know him?
