Toy Drive 2009
Every year, I donate a teddy bear in memory of my babybear to the Children's Miracle Toy Drive. This is the teddy bear I donated this year.
I like to think he'll bring a smile to some deserving child this year. Just because Christmas no longer exists for me, doesn't mean it has to cease to exist for someone else.
He is adorable Ter, and will be a great joy to whoever gets him with all the love coming with him too. You will always exist to Jesus, the one who's birth we celebrate. He will always love you Ter. Love you too.
What an adorable bear! It will definitely put a big smile on a child's face - it put one on mine just seeing the photo. :) Such a sweet & thoughtful thing to do.
Ter, Christmas maybe does exist for you, you just have taken a new role. By giving to other people like you do, you have taken on an angelic type role, almost like a Santa. You do have a wonderful spirit.
Ter, got your comment...Sorry for the confusion. I corrected my blog in case anyone else got confused. Nick is not deployed. He is here until Sept 2010 before he leaves again. I meant that I want my normal husband back. He has not been himself ever since we (or I) started the adoption back up after we (or he) called it quits. Its such a hard place to be in.
Hey Ter- Just bounced over from Amber's blog. I can't really put into words how sorry I am for your loss. That is a wonderful idea to donate a bear to help create a wonderful christmas for another child.
what a cute bear. I just love it!! I am glad that you are sending some christmas cheer....

The bear put a smile on my face...so I just know it will put one on a well deserving child's!
