Bo Bo's

Bo Bo's was much loved, much maligned and 14 years old. Quite old for a brown bear and only two apples high standing tall. Bo Bo's started life out with bright black eyes and a soft pink nose but slowly over the years through many adventures and misadventures was patched with whatever materials were at hand.

Bo Bo's ear was replaced several times, one of the bright black eyes became a purple button, the soft pink nose was sewn thread desperately trying to keep the stuffing in, the left paw had bits of fabric sewn in over the years. Bo Bo's had no mouth, belly button or tail by the time it came to finally put Bo Bo's aside as a discarded relic of childhood past. Though Bo Bo's always had a place of honour on the shelf.

But when it came time to send on the owner of this much cherished toy of the not-that-distant past, Bo Bo's was placed beside him with tears. And, it was deemed most appropriate by all who knew how important Bo Bo's was to Nick.
