It's going to have my father's name on one foot--LT Clancy--and a copy of his firefighter's patch on the other foot.
The buttons from his shirt will be on its stomach.
The shirt is a khaki color, so I'm not sure that it will be very cute. Who ever heard of a dull khaki teddy bear? lol But I'll treasure it of course.
It's funny how conversations get your mind running. I was thinking of Saints' relics. The pieces of robes and stuff like that never bothered me. But things like peices of bone? OK, that's weird. Then I though, is it any weirder than the collection of baby teeth I have fossilizing in my top bureau drawer? Or the lock of baby hair? lol
Do you have your kids' teeth or locks of their baby hair?
I have small locks of my kid's hair in their baby books...and believe it or not, I have an envelope of my own curls that my mom kept from a haircut I had at 3 years. Curls...lovely soft, shiny curls...but no more. Ah well. :-/
