I am sure some people are so materialistic. If I am going to answer this question, I would rather keep all things given by people close to my heart. Through the years of existence, I had treasured all the things given to me such as love letters, token, paintings and the like. In this way, I am showing my deepest gratitude to them.

In some instances, the most important to cherishing forever is the trust and being loyal to us. It is very rare to find to true friends nowadays. It is the best thing to ponder the happy moments with them. It doesn’t measure the good quality of these people.

I have!

I have a teddy bear that had been with me for the past 43 years and I had been sleeping with it too!

Yeah, it is dirty, not hygiene but I am closed to it that now the teddy has my “smell” too.

That was my first teddy that I had stole from my baby brother when my aunt gave it to my mom.

I pleaded to my mom to give the teddy to me since my baby brother was just born.

Hence, teddy had been with me ever since.

My hubby was surprised that I even sleep with a dirty teddy bear!

I cannot throw it away, it had became part of me already

@peachpurple That’s cool! Well, I still have car toys that I had received during my toddler year. My mother kept it in her closet. I have an idea to put it in glass frames. Some young generations in the family wanted to acquire it, but there will be no chance for them to have such precious thing in my life. I do think your teddy bear loves you so much. He followed you through the years.

yeah, I felt that teddy is part of me.

Whenever I am sad, I talked to teddy and I felt better, although I dont get any response.

I looked into teddy eyes, I had the feeling that she knows.

I even gave my teddy clothes to wear, treated teddy like my best buddy.

when I can’t sleep, I pat teddy until I fall asleep.

I felt like a child again

@peachpurple I felt a flashback about having a soft toy. When I had a mission in Central Asia, a partner from an international NGO gave me a demo soft toy. It is the way where we conducted practical training to the medical practitioner in the country.

During my stay in the country, I had some episodes of being lonely. Since I stayed in the country for a year and nobody that I can talk to. I usually had this soft toy dummy in the living room and most of the time, I usually talk about it. The dummy and I had a fun time in creating strategies on how to deliver the series of training.
