Over the weekend I was trying to figure out what this weeks post should be about. My mind kept coming back to the same thing bears. So my post for today is about bears!
I absolutely positively LOVE bears! Out of all the animals on the earth the bear is my favorite animal of all. I especially love the grizzly bear. I know that they can be dangerous animals. I know it wouldn’t take much for a bear to seriously hurt a person and yet I think they are the cutest animals there are.
I also really love teddy bears! Doesn’t matter how small or how big the teddy bear is I just love them! They are so cute and cuddly. When I was growing up teddy bears became this special thing between my mom and me. Every year for my birthday and Christmas my mom would buy me a new teddy bear. It didn’t matter the size, but some how they ended up getting bigger and bigger. I remember at Christmas time my mom would take me to Macy’s in Manhattan on a Saturday and we would look at their teddy bear displays. I couldn’t get over how many different teddy bears Macy’s had! I remember one Christmas while looking at the teddy bears my mom told me to pick the one I liked best. With out me knowing about it she managed to buy that particular teddy bear for me that Christmas. When I opened that present up, oh the surprised look on my face! It pleased my mom very much to know that she was able to surprise me that Christmas. I still have that teddy bear with the collection of bears that I have from over the years. It is quite possible that I might have at least 60 teddy bears now. I have many fond memories from all of them. I still have the very first teddy bear that my parents bought for me when I was about 6 years old. That is the teddy bear that I treasure the most.
Upon request this is a pic of the teddy bear I was given at the age of 6:
