Most people still have their childhood friend right? Some peoples beds are still littered with them, And some never had the joy of a little friend to accompany them.. Which are you?

I had a teddy, was very special to me, so much so that when I was 9 and my parents sent me to boarding school in the UK he came with me, sadly, he was not seen by the other boys as special and I was humiliated and teased for having him, he quickly got sent to the bottom of my school trunk and was "lost" by the time I left that school.

I have a few toys from my childhood which my daughter played with and now my granddaughter.
I also have a few bears that are time pieces/works of art which allows me to justify having my wee furry friends close by.
I have an old German sled hanging on my bedroom wall, on which sits a rather worn, straw-filled, mohair, hump-backed German bear who arrived in a shoebox on my seventh birthday. The best gift I ever had, there's a lot of emotional energy stored up in that old bear... like a memory stick.

rebel2: Thats sweet. Lovely to have those kind of memories.
Yes, there are some powerfully good memories, but like a character in a novel, that bear is the only other person who knows the full and complete truth about my childhood.
I feel its jolly decent of him to hold my history in his furry paws, so I so don't always have to carry it about myself.
I'm just going to change the way he's sitting, though - he slipped and he's looking a bit overly burdened at the moment. That's more symbolism than is necessary, bless him. Way beyond the call of duty.

Its unlikely he'll talk, given my old dog chewed part of his mouth off.
I also carry a scar from my old dog when he mistook my inner thigh for a particularly aggressive spaniel in his days of failing sight. My dog's face was a picture when he realised what he'd done.
I think I'm going to have to buried with that bear, our lives have run so parallel.
