My family moved from the suburbs to the country when I was five. Not only did I insist that we pack a box for my imaginary friend's stuff, but I made my mom promise that there would be room for her in our new house. When we moved, however, Mom -- trying to get me to grow up -- told me that my imaginary friend found a new family to live with and wouldn't be coming with us. I cried for weeks and tried to walk the 20 miles back to our old house to find her.
But it's ok. 29 years later, I've almost stopped being angry about it.
