At present I own about 50 of them( the stuffed kind) and a few more of the cermaic type. But as collections go, I will undoubltly end up with a few more. My collection of Hugs is growing almost daily. Santa and his helpers, added several to my bear family.

This is a special poem that my nephew, Brad, found when doing a search of the web, we both felt that it deserved a place on this page in dedication of abused children. We also want to thank the very special person who wrote it.

Teddy, I've been bad again, My Mommy told me so;
I'm not quite sure what I did wrong. But I thought that you might know. When I woke up this morning, I knew that she was mad; Cause she was crying awful hard, And yelling at my dad. I tried my best to be real good, And do just what she said; I cleaned my room all by myself, I even made my bed. But I spilled milk on my good shirt, When she yelled at me to hurry; And I guess she didn't hear me, When I told her I was sorry. Cause she hit me awful hard, you see, And called me funny names; And told me I was really bad, And I should be ashamed! When I said,"I love you, Mommy," I guess she didn't understand; Cause she yelled at me to shut my mouth. Or I'd get smacked again. So, I came up here to talk to you, Please tell me what to do; Cause I really love my Mommy, And I know she loves me, too. And I don't think my Mommy means, To hit me quite so hard; I guess sometimes, grown-ups forget. How big they really are! So Teddy, I wish you were real, And you weren't just a bear; Then you could help me find a way. To tell Mommies everywhere. To please try hard to understand. How sad it makes us feel; Cause the outside pain soon goes away, But the inside never heals! And if we could make them listen, Maybe then they'd understand; So other children just like me, Wouldn't have to hurt again.
But for now, I guess I'll hold you tight, And pretend the pain's not there; I know you 'd never hurt me, I love you......So Goodnight, Teddy Bear!
