Thread Bear Comments

Sue, I absolutely LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLOVE this! Not just because I love every teddy bear in the world, not just because I particularly love this precious, darling teddy of yours (please give him lots of hugs and kisses from his Auntie Di) , but also because your poem is superbly written with your usual flair for saying exactly what you want to put across with nuances aplenty and with great aplomb!

This nearly made me cry in the office! I never had a teddy (don't be upset- I never knew what I was missing) and couldn't understand my wife's collection of seemingly hundreds, all named, all cherished. My own children now have hundreds, all named, all cherished. The finest description of a threadbare bear I know is one that has been 'loved hard'.
