You have given us a tangible reminder of Mike - something we can look at, hold, and hug when we can no longer look at, hold or hug him. Mike was like a giant bear - tender, squeezable, huggable, loving, and comforting. To be with him often brought a smile and laughter. When we were with him we felt a sense of safety and protection. These bears are a wonderful reminder of all these qualities. Mike himself had a soft spot for giving teddy bears so it is very fitting now for each of us to have a Mike Bear, courtesy of your fingers and heart. This summer was our first family vacation/holiday without Michael being physically present. Meeting these fourteen bears then seeing them on the stairs, lying on the couches and bedside tables, resting on the kitchen counter, peeking out of purses, sitting on the deck, and popping up in various locations brought smiles and good remembrances and reminded us that Michael truly is not far away. To look at the bears and remember Michael wearing the T-shirts touches our hearts and we thank you for sharing your creativity and gift! We remember Michael - and you, the kind friend of Lori's in Maryland, and our hearts are full! Thank you!

They are each so precious, and it is great to have a piece of him to keep with us, and to hug when we miss him (they are going to get squeezed a lot). The pictures are also a blessing - to see how much time and energy and love you put into making them for us has touched our hearts. We pray for your fingers and your back! Love, love, love!
