My Show && Tell

If I were to show and tell I would bring my BIG teddy bear that my ex boyfriend/best friend gave me. I would pick my teddy bear to bring because it means a lot to me. I received my BIG teddy bear on Valentine’s Day. The best Valentine’s Day I ever had. I have always wanted a big teddy bear and he got me one that day. He brought it to me at 4:00 in the morning.


It’s special to me because Jon was special to me. The boy that gave it to me, I had been through everything with him, ups and downs. He would turn my day into something beyond what anyone else would ever make it. He would also bring out the worst and best of me. Even though he isn't my boyfriend anymore he is still my friend and that's something that I promised him when we first got together in 2008 of December 11th. The teddy bear reminds me of him every time I look at it I get a smile on my face. All the feelings I used to have for him are still the same just not as much. Jon and I were together for a year and we knew each other for five years. I knew his whole family and he knew mine. We would hang out on the weekends and on the week days every day after school. I would stay at his house until 8 or 9 on school days and on weekend days stay till 11 P.M or sometimes 12 A.M. The thing I loved most about him was his big bear hugs he gave me. He would squeeze me and pick me up and spin me around in circles. I loved how we would stay on the phone at night for hours talking about everything and anything. We would never get bored and we would just fall asleep on the phone together. We would laugh about the dumbest things. Every time we were together we would have fun. Play hide and go seek, tag, monopoly. We would go to the park in the middle of the night and go swinging or we would just lie in the grass and he would warm me. On his birthday I baked him a cake and his little sister Alexis helped me. I’m not that good at cooking but I still made an effort to make him one. On my birthday we went to the Japanese kitchen restaurant and we got to take a picture together. Everything we do have and always will have a special place in my heart. That’s why Jon Mikal Vidal is special to me which makes my teddy bear special to me too.

I never named my BIG teddy bear so it’s unnamed. I think I like it so much because it always stands out because of how big it is. The first thing people notice when they enter my room is my teddy. If I brought it to show and tell I would say that I sleep with it by my side every single night. I would also say that when I’m feeling down or lonely I use it as my pillow.
