I fell in love with him the first time I saw him.
I was 13. My grandma and I were in the Hallmark store at the mall. It was around Valentine's Day. There he was upon a shelf... a small bright pink teddybear with a little red heart for a nose and little hearts on his feet. I touched him and he was so soft.
That evening, I told my mom that I had fallen in love with the teddybear. She was kind enough to take me back to the mall so I could get him. It was a rarity for such a thing to happen... I never asked for much, and I suppose that's why she was so willing.
I had never been into stuffed animals or dolls... Mr. Happy was the first I'd ever chosen. Since then, I've gained a lovely stuffed animal collection, and they all have souls. I also have a couple of dolls. One of them has a soul, but it's different than all the stuffed animals. The teddybears have the strongest identities and presence.
