What got me about that story was the part with the fairy. Slink and I didn't need a fairy to be saved. We didn't need magic or a miracle. He cared enough about us that he saved us and then he gave us to Andy.
It felt good to be reminded of that. Hurts a little but it felt good at the same time.

The dogged devotion to Andy, the faith that he'd do right by them, take care of them and keep them safe in the attic, and maybe give them to his own kids, even after he'd grown up. It'd already happened once before. Woody had existed long enough to see how the cycles of a toy's life sometimes worked, so long as their owners actually cared.]
