The Teddy Bear

The room sat as a mausoleum, undisturbed and used only for remembering and talking to her son when it was too hard not to. Glancing around the room, Jane took a deep breath. It was time to let go. She would only keep the teddy bear he'd chewed the ear off of.

  1. So well done, Heather. My heart broke reading that.

  2. I've been sorting through the things my children have outgrown. They are with me everyday and I still had a difficult time choosing what to hold on to and what to give away with. Of course, I was doing this while listening to a show about a family who lost their daughter due to texting and driving.

    I'm glad that sentiment was felt in the little space I had.
