<meta charset="utf-8"> <p data-mce-fragment="1">I've been collecting teddy bears for many years, and my collection includes some very special pieces. One of my most treasured bears is a Steiff teddy bear from Germany, the first company to create teddy bears. My dad used to buy me two bears every year, one for Christmas and one for my birthday, until he passed away in 2015. Those bears now mean everything to me as a reminder of his love.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1">Since January 2020, I've been struggling with health issues and recently had back surgery, hoping it would be the solution. Unfortunately, I’m experiencing more pain. The "Bear With Me" bracelet serves as a beautiful and meaningful reminder of my journey and resilience.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1">Thank you so much for these beautiful messages to wear; they mean more to me than you will ever know.</p>
