My Daddy's teddy bear.

My father had a pacemaker put in in 1996. He passed away in 1998. My Mother followed him in 2000. While clearing out their things, I found the Cough Buddy bear that he was given in the hospital to hold against his chest when he coughed to help with the pain. When I have my RNY on Nov. 12th, I was told that I would be given a pillow to hold against my tummy for the same purpose as his bear. I will be bringing my daddy's bear with me to the hospital. When I hug it in my time of pain, it will be as if he and I are sharing a moment in common. I was so happy to have found his (our) bear.

thats just so precious. I am glad you have such a loving moment of your daddy
