I still remember the little white teddy that was my constant companion since I was 6 years old. I used to hug, dress, wash and cuddle it throughout the night. It is only when I went on my honeymoon that Teddy stayed back alone on my bed at home.
Strangely, this Christmas my little son asked Santa for a teddy. And Santa brought him one that was to his exact specifications - white, huggable, and soft with a lovable expression.
