Growing up as a boy I remember one of my favorite toys. It was a koala with velcro paws which wrapped around and held a smaller koala. When I was in Australia last July for the World Youth Day 2008 wherever we went I kept my eyes open for a similar koala to give to my little nephew, Matthew.
Koala toys abounded, but the ones who held a smaller koala were not only cheaply made but also cheap looking. Finally, I found what I was looking for in the Sydney airport as we prepared to leave the great south land of the Holy Spirit.
Yesterday I was finally able to give the koala to Matthew (I kept forgetting to bring it with me the last couple of times I returned to Quincy. I think he likes it:
Isn't my nephew adorable?
