Today, you will enter a world where promises are kept, dreams become real and friends are forever. The Teddy Bear Zone.

There's just something about a Teddy Bear that's impossible to explain.

When you hold one in your arms, you get a feeling of love, comfort and security, It's almost supernatural.

A Teddy Bear's virtue is that he cannot love himself, only others.

Good bears are love made visible.

Bears help people through hard times.

I didn't know if my husband would understand about my Teddy bear, who's been sharing my bed since I was four. But they had a long talk, and my husband discovered some things about Teddy that even I didn't know--like some nights Teddy would rather watch TV all night in the living room.

You might say that growing up without a Teddy bear to hug

would be like a December without Christmas.

Learn to listen like a Teddy bear,

With ears open and mouth closed tight.

Learn to forgive like a Teddy bear,

With heart wide open, not caring who is right.

Learn to love like a Teddy bear,

with arms open and imperfect eyesight.
