Samantha- An AGPS/Story Time

Samantha is my own doll now.

Her hair silky smooth, her style of elegance, her chocolate eyes.

But there is a true story behind her.

*Flashback, 2011-2012*

I remember Samantha, pouring over her books, playing endlessly with her mini doll, as I did not own any other AG dolls.  I had a connection with her, yes, she WAS named Samantha like me, but it was much more than that.

But it was much more than that.

I received American girl catalogs, and while I cherished them, I wondered why Samantha wasn’t in a single one.

I asked my Mom to look it up, and found out that she was retired in 2009, meaning she wasn’t available to buy.  But she also found pictures of her.

I remembered she printed one out, and I stuck it on my wall, wishing for her.

*Flashback to 2013*

I fell in love with Molly, Emily, and Saige.

Samantha was out of my mind, for I had misplaced her picture, and wasn’t able to see her in the catalogs.

I received Molly and Emily that Christmas, and Saige for my birthday six days later.

*Flashback to September, 2014*

I was very happy with my doll family of three, and then I heard Beforever came out, with an addition of none other than…

Samantha.

*Flashback to March, 2015*

I’m in the AG store, in the market for a doll.

I sneak glances at Samantha while I buy Kit.

Christmas, 2015

I have already bought Maryellen in September, and I desperately want Samantha.

I ask for her on a wishlist, and change my mind to Grace.  I am torn.

On Christmas, I receive two dolls.  That hadn’t happened since 2013.

I receive Samantha and Grace.

I sneak out at 4:00 in the morning, and I see the box.  I know it is her.

I unwrap her, and I am happy.

Very, very, Happy.
