My daughter's most precious teddy has been left on an airplane and I don't know what else I can do. I didn't travel with her and he was missed when they left the aircraft and he's been left behind.
She realised as soon as they arrived back home and the lost property forms were filled in immediately. He hasn't been booked in yet. I've been back to the lost property desk at the airport and the check in desk. The staff on the check in desk said aircraft cleaners had probably thrown him away if he hadn't been booked in by now. I've spent hours emailing and ringing various ground handling companies to see who would have cleared the aircraft and the inflight blankets but nothing. I have friends that know cabin crew and they have shared his picture far and wide. I have also joined local Facebook groups around the airport hoping to capture any staff that might work in the cleaning services. I don't know what else I can do.
She's heartbroken. She keeps randomly crying when she thinks of him and asks me when he will be back and talking about all the things she would like to do with him. She cried herself to sleep last night and says she doesn't know how many more nights she can sleep without him.
Obviously I'm comforting her, reassuring her I'm doing what I can without making any promises and saying that he'll come back. I don't get upset around her just let her cry, keep her busy and talk about him when she wants to.
I keep being offered replacements for him, which is kind, but it wouldn't be her bunny and she already keeps getting upset by her other teddies.
I don't know what I'm expecting from this post really. It's been a really hard few days.
