It's fun to see part of other's past selves, rather than posts (on the internet as a whole) with little emotion in them. :)"And maybe it instils a respect for material objects, and resources beyond commercial greed"Though, I have to say that companies churning out bears and other beloved toys (in the past and now) , is probably more for commerical greed, than care of anything else. Not in all cases, but a good many. Thank you so much for this post! It’s fun to see part of other’s past selves, rather than posts (on the internet as a whole) with little emotion in them. :)

Though, I have to say that companies churning out bears and other beloved toys (in the past and now) , is probably more for commerical greed, than care of anything else. Not in all cases, but a good many.

A sweet, loved little bear was given by a little girl to her father going off to war. She asked her father to carry it with him, to remind him of her. This solier was killed just weeks before he was to return home. On his body was found this little bear.I'm crying just thinking about it.

This reminded me of my first childhood memory of yarn, and of my beloved bear. So I just had to write something about it myself. I really liked your post about those well-loved stuffies.

I said yes, it was the same one. He laughed and laughed, like he finally understood some part of my personality that hadn't made sense before. I also have several other stuffies from when I was young (and generally speaking I have photos of me with them when I was small). When I'm old and crazy with Alzheimers I might not know what to do with my underwear, but hopefully Raggedy Ann will be there to remind of my life.

Her dodo is a stuffed bunny, though its shape is undefinable. I have mended it many of times, to the point of mending on mending. It is loved. This post of yours resounds the tenderness I feel when I see the little bunny. My daughter has had her DODO, as it is called here in France, all her 16 years of life.
