Imaginary Fred

Meet Fred (the blue one in the images) - he is special! He floats like a feather in the clouds waiting for a lonely child to summon him and wish for his existence. He glows more when a child wishes or needs him, and his glow fades away according to the power of the child's beliefs and needs. Fred is a very faithful friend, who would make you comfortable and extremely confident so that you can seek real friends going forward. When this happens, Fred begins to fade away into the clouds. He remains there up in the clouds waiting for another call from another lonely child.

Yes! Friends do go in and out of our lives!
