This is a story from a lady who lives in the Philippines. Her tale of "Jack" and how she shared him with another is quite touching...
I can still remember how I got my very first teddy bear, It was 29 years ago when I was still in grade school.
I think that my teddy bear was the cutest and the best one in the world. Why? Because this was the biggest for me that time, and has the most sentimental value compared to the most dolls I have had.
First, it had eyes that would melt your heart. He seemed to say "please hug me" when you looked at him. He was chestnut brown and had a checkered scarf wrapped around his neck. I named him Jack.
Jack was given to my by my Auntie, and that Aunt of mine is not very privileged. She was very special to me growing up. She worked hard but never had much money. No matter what, she always managed to give me something special every once in a while though. I never dreamed she would ever give something as special as Jack.
That's why I treasured Jack so much. A few years ago I gave Jack to a friend who was going through a very tough time. It was hard to do, but she really needed him and I think my Auntie would have liked seeing him end up where he is now.
