When I was a child, I had a blue bear named "Bluey Bear" (what can I say, I sure was creative in naming him, right?) In those days, we didn't have a lot of toys and so, Bluey Bear was really special to me. When he got old, someone said we should donate our toys to the poor children and so I did. But later, I regretted giving him away. Although of course, I like to think he made someone else happy too.
goodluck, hope you win that blue bear!
ReplyDeleteMy sister had a blue elephant, which she rubbed the fur and eyes right off of. I wonder if she still has that elephant. He was great!
ReplyDeleteGood luck!
I hope you win your blue bear! I still have my bear named "Brownie"...he lives in my hope chest because he has lost both his eyes and nose...but he was my first bear and I love him so! Have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteI do hope you can have another blue bear some day, Peggy. Sometimes we don't realize how meaningful something or someone is until it is gone. I feel sure that the original bear was a special gift to a child who needed the love you had already poured into Blue Bear.
ReplyDeleteI really would like you to win the blue bear.
ReplyDeleteI have my still my childhood friends.
I wasn´t able to give them away, but I am sure your old blue- bear made a child very happy.
Have a great weekend

What a sweet story :) My very first bear from when I was born was blue, I had him up until 2 years ago when I decided to wash him again :( He fell apart and it seemed whatever he was stuffed with had just disintegrated, what a mess. I had to let him go. Hope you win your new blue bear :)
ReplyDeleteYour story is so sweet! I wanted to stop by and say "hello", and thank you for your kind comments. I hope you win that blue bear.
