Stuffed Bear

Like many children, when I was younger I received a stuffed animal from my grandmother. I remember being so excited to take it home, because my grandma always had stuffed animals from her job in the car, and she had gotten this one especially for me. I still have the old thing (it looks so used and loved now) and I couldn’t imagine throwing it away. That being said, I do not sleep with it anymore because I realized that if I wanted to grow and not only be able to fall asleep with a stuffed bear, I would have to start putting it in the closet. I could never imagine loosing the bear or having someone take it from me. Everything changes including your family, and it is nice to have something from your childhood that stayed constant.
