Goodbye my beloved Teddy Bear

Warning, not so funny post, but hopefully there are some moments =). 

So I make a lot of things into jokes especially in my blogs or tweets or whatever, and I have a separate blog for serious posts (Tawn's Stories), but this blog really doesn't fall into that serious social type of post, so I'll just place it here.  Again, this is just me sharing shit, and is my way of letting it all out.

Ok, so I know this sounds really cheesy, and even to some extent child-ish, but if any of you have ever had something tangible that you once loved and adored, you know how hard it is to let go for a lot of reasons and the top 2 of mine are as follows:

1. It's sentimental.  You can't beat that.  It holds some of the most precious memories that defined whatever time frame it is that you locked and casted them into.

2.  It makes something intangible, tangible. 

So as I'm sitting here staring at my teddy bear, the one thing that I haven't let go of yet, I asked myself why to this day was I still holding onto it. And of course the top reason for it, was that this was one of my favorite presents of all time.  Ask anyone who have been to my place within the last few years and it was always proudly displayed in my room like it was an Oscar Award or something.  Obviously, it's not, but the worth of it was so much more.  I used to sleep with it at night because it was love: I could see it, feel it, hug it, and be next to it. 

It was made with love and it was emotionally valuable to me.  Those are the things that mattered most to me, and that's why I kept it.


But what do you do when things take a different course of action, and the once-upon-a-time bear could no longer serve its purpose as a reminder of love?  I guess it goes to say that its duties were served and over. Do you keep it for memories, or do you give it away to a child who can love it as much as you did?

And the best thing for me to do is to give it to a child who will love it as much as I did.

So with that being said...tomorrow is the day where my beloved bear will go to a child.  Goodbye my beloved Teddy Bear - I'm ok to part with you now.

Thanks for all the time you listened to me pray.
