Debbie at work made a fantastic suggestion. Breanne her daughter was only12 years old when her Daddy died a few years ago. A Teddy bear that her Daddy had given to her became very special to those lonesome moments. Debbie suggested why not buy the girls one that when they miss their Oma they can snuggle the Teddy bear. So of we went to Wal-Mart, that is Yvonne, Anneka , Aila and me.
We found some Hallmark Teddies $30.00, prices down to $8.97, what a steal! They were just adorable. So adorable, Yvonne wanted one and so did I. We bought a few heart shaped key chains in which we put for them Opa and Oma's picture, in mine pictures of the girls. So we are all set when the tears come!! Anneka took the picture of Ted and me, good job Anneka!

Teddy bears come in really handy when we are grieving the lost of someone dear to our hearts. This I know. I am so glad you are making good memories for your family.
I absolutely LOVE that idea. I wonder what I should do for the boys when they start to miss Anneka and Aila. We all have a long journey ahead of us.
That's a wonderful idea! My family actually did something very similar when my Grandmother died. They took her bathrobe and sent it to a teddy bear maker. Now we have teddy bears made from her robe. It always reminds me of her.
