When I was little I had a horse back riding accident. My family and friends brought me balloons, flowers, and toys. But my favorite gift was a soft, fluffy bear. The minute I saw him my heart stopped, and his big brown eyes engulfed me. I knew his name must be Stuffy (don’t judge me I was six). When I played with him I could be anything: a pirate, a queen, or Alice in Wonderland. That bear has been my best friend since that day forward. He helped me through hard choices, bad days, and lifted me up when I fell down.

I had a teddy bear that I loved a lot when I was little too! Her name was Big Bear (also don’t judge me, I was like 4). She was a big brown bear that I loved to play with just like you played with Stuffy! It sounds like you went on many adventures with Stuffy and she made a big impact on your childhood!
