Cuddling with My Pillow Pet

December 14, 2009

One of my favorite things when I was a child was the stuffed bear that was my mother’s when she was a child. Worn out in places, eyes missing, replaced, and then missing again, Teddy was a good friend. I’ve always wanted my sons to have the same type of ‘friend.’ One that could share [...]
