Last weekend I said good bye to my teddy bear that I had since I was 7 years old. I bought him in Germany on a summer holiday with the family. I had saved money for a year to buy toys in the big stores in Hamburg. I found a teddy and named him Theodor Heuss, after a german Bundeskanzler. He is an evidence of my early interest in politics too... oh - he has been with me trough so many things.When I picked up Theodor while cleaning I saw that his fur was falling off. The stuffing had lost it's strength years ago, and moth had made his thoung pireced. What to do then with an old friend? I found out time had run out for him. I had to write this blop post to give him the last tribute. I hope I wan't have nightmares about him in the garbage bin...
I had Theodor for nearly 40 years! How much history an old teddy can carry and how much comfort.
He's so sweet and looks like he has been well-loved.
