I'm continuing my posts of Teddy Bear stories. This one has some grammatical errors, but it was sent from someone who lives in a country far from me and English is their second language. I'm leaving this particular story the way it is just because it tells a nice story and it was written from the heart...
I grow up with lots of stuffed toys around. This became a collection because my mom used to keep them all from the day of my conception and I continued it up to my teenage years. I kept them in glass cabinets, so I can see them all without having to touch them one by one. I have five cabinets for my selected stuffed animals. I gave some to my friends and relatives. My favorites among them are a teddy bear, a puppy, and a hamster. I named them as Dave, Jembot, and Miming respectively. These three have the same brown color. I sleep with them in my bed since childhood up to the day I left for college. I used to put on small shirts on my teddy bear Dave. I can still remember before that I fantasized him as real. I play and talk with him. Every time I am taking my snacks while playing, I gave him a share. Also as I study my lessons, I allow him to watch on my notes. Every time my mom will wash him, I consider it he was just taking a bath. I love to reminisce those days.

I think it is wonderful that the magic of Teddy bears has spread all around the world. We sometimes live in such a small world that we impose upon ourselves. We don't realize how many things we might have in common with people in far off places. It would seem that the love of Teddy Bears is one of those things!
Here is another Teddy Bear story. This one comes from India...
I have liked Teddy Bears very much from my childhood onwards I used to play with them. One of my favorite Teddy Bears was the one given to me by my sister when we were both little. I had other Teddy bears, but that is the only one I could fall asleep with at night. My father gave me a huge Teddy bear on my next birthday, but I still loved the one from my sister the best. Those two bears were also the start of my collection. It isn't the biggest Teddy bear collection in the world, but they cover my bed and I move them every night before going to bed.
I had 23 Teddy bears in my collection. I only lost one Teddy bear from my collection. That bear was given to me by an uncle when I went to visit him. I was carrying the bear with me as I rode home after the visit on a train. I can still remember the feel of that bear's fur as I listened to the chugging of the train. I dozed off and awoke as my parents hustled me off of the train. Somehow I managed to lose the bear as we got off and picked up our bags. I only realized that he was gone when we were already on our way home in the car. My parents tried to call to see if anyone ever turned in that missing bear, but he never turned up. I was upset, but got over it. If it had been the bear from my sister though, I don't know what I would have done.
