I guess most children must have had a toy they really loved and that stayed with them as they grew. These toys are not only toys, they were our companions and our friends. Age will never cause me to outgrow such close friends.
Bearleen was that special companion. She was my 14th birthday present from my mother. 14 may have been the age where kids outgrow their toys and no longer need them anymore, yet it was the new beginning of my journey with Bearleen.
She was like my shadow, more obscure but definitely my confidante. I'd imagine how filling her in on my troubles every night would take all my worries away. It was talking to my inner self, trying to convince myself that the problems were nothing.
Never forget your best toy for they may be an important part of you. And who knows? They may even feel sad for being forgotten.
Cheers,
