Dear Pooh Bear,
If there is something that has been constant throughout my entire life, it has been you. You were there when I took my first breath, took my first steps, made my first friend, and began my new life at college. When I was younger, you were always there to make me feel safe when I slept. Now, 20 years later, you still do the same. You have never left my side, and I don't think you ever will. With so much constant change in the past 20 years of my life, the reassurance of having you has made it so much easier for me to adjust each and every time. Plus, you know how much I love change (NOT)!
When people left my life, you never did. You may not be a real, breathing bear, but you might as well be. When I'm alone in my room, I talk to you about how I feel and what is stressing me out. And the best part? You don't answer back. So I can ramble off to you with no consequences! You know more about me than anyone on this planet, really. And the best part is that you will always keep what I share to yourself.
Thank you for being a constant in my everyday life. I know that when I come home from a long day of classes or a long day at work, I can always curl up in my bed with you and watch a show on Netflix. You bring a sense of my childhood wherever you accompany me. Thank you for keeping all those memories. When I look at you, I remember all the trips I have brought you on. You are well-traveled, that's for sure. From Mexico to France, you have been to all the magical places that I have been to. You hold all the memories that I have made with my family and friends, and I know you will never lose them for me (you're a pretty great memory keeper).
Thank you for being there for me and for continuing to be my source of comfort for the years to come. My future husband will have to come to terms with the fact that you will be a habitual object sitting on our bed each night. However, I will eventually pass you on to my own children so that they can make new memories of their own with you. You will be passed on from generation to generation.
Love,
Your Original Loving Owner
