So here is the story about MY teddy bear:
About 9years ago my husband and I separated. It was Valentine's day (the day he asked me to marry him) and I was alone for the 1st time in several years. I received 1 dozen red roses at work (the note on the card read simply "to my heart thief"
anonymously. That night my best friend showed up at my door with a cheesy heart shaped box of chocolates and a smile on his face. The words he spoke were life changing......."so, did you get my flowers?"
That stupid teddy bear (I am NOT a teddy bear kind of girl) has been with me through thick and thin. He has been loved on, tossed around, chewed on by doggies....and finally passed on.
I have the REAL Bear that gave me that bear now. I get to sleep with the real bear every night. That "friend" became The Bear, the love of my life. So Teddy has now been passed on....to someone that needs a piece of me, a piece of good luck and a piece of comfort. I can't be with you Kricket...but you got the next best thing. I hope you know that.
Holding behind his back was the softest teddy bear I have ever felt. He handed it to me and said..."when you are sad, alone, thinking of me, or just want a cuddle...this might help."
