Not looking for sympathy, just need to write this down. Will try to make this as short as possible:
We were at girl guide family camp at the end of August. DD asked if she could take her special pokemon cards (the ones she doesn't have doubles of) with her. Usually I would have said no, in case they went missing but said ok since her grandfather (my dad) just passed away and I knew she would feel better having the cards with her since many were from him.
Well, the cards went missing either at camp or I somehow forgot to pack them at camp. I don't know. All I know is that they are no where in this house (have searched for two days for about the 200 or so cards) and are not at the camp.
DD is sick about this and so am I. She has had a tough summer with the loss of her grand dad (they were extremely close) and now this happens.
The camp consisted of ten small bedrooms and a common room. She brought out the cards to show the other kids one evening and one boy took a particular interest in them and kept asking her for them. Her social skills are so weak (she is a special needs kids) that I think she would have actually given the boy the cards in order to try and gain a freindship of some sort. He seemed like a very streetwise young man and I was worried about the outcome. Thats when I intervened and asked her to put them away. She handed them to me and asked me to take special care of them for her. I put them in our room and did not realize that they were missing until yesterday when she wanted to show them to a friend here at home.
I know that many others on this board have much larger issues to deal with with their children but I just feel sick about this.
She is heart broken. She has many other pokemon cards at home but these were her favourites since she had no doubles of them.
I am going to go on ebay and try to find locate sellers selling pokemon cards in large batches and try and get her some replacements.
IF BUY CHANCE YOU SELL POKEMON CARDS ON EBAY OR IF YOU HAVE SOME THAT YOU WOULD BE WILLING TO SELL ME, PLEASE PM OR EMAIL ME. I DON'T KNOW THE SPECIFIC CARDS THAT WENT MISSING, BUT IF I COULD BUY LARGE BATCHES OF CARDS, I WOULD RECOVER MANY MISSING ONES FOR HER I'M SURE.
Will also post on the disABILITIES board (have friends there) as well as on the budget board (in case any DIS ebay sellers have some they could sell to me).
Thanks for letting me get this off of my chest.
