memory bears
I’m not sure how I will feel if I were given a teddy bear made from a departed loved one’s garments. Will I welcome it joyfully, like jumping up and down joyful? Or, will I sit quietly in a corner remembering the times when the loved one was still around. I really am not sure. But if others love memory bears so much it must be doing something good for them.
These custom handmade bears made from fabric worn by a lost relative or friend will keep the memory of the relative or friend alive forever. It could be a grandmother’s favorite shawl or a child’s school uniform. It might even be a pet’s old blanket. But memory bears are not just to commemorate the dead. It can also be a reminder of one’s childhood. Thus, a mother might want to have a bear made out of outgrown infant clothes. It will be something that the child will love to have when he is all grown up.
