Hi Gypsy, your poem is so true. Children love their teddy bears and stuffed animals. They also make them feel safe in the middle of the night.
You are lucky that your Good Will will accept them. In our area, they will not take stuffed animals because of allergies, and they are off limits for Christmas donations as well???
Perfect photo choice. Well done. Xo. M

Comment from Mark D. R.
Gypsy,
Nice idea!
My daughter and her children had/have Teddy Bears that they cuddled and also slept with them. Those good memories are reinforced by your poem.
Fortunately, they never did contribute them to Goodwill.

A lot said in a few words. You allow readers to I feel the emotions in this write. I can relate because my daughter in law can be quite ruthless in decluttering and doesn't always relate to the desire of her children to hold on to their precious childhood toys.
At least nowadays one can take photos that will spark memories.
I like the double meaning of Goodwill. It implies more than the charity. Another child will receive and love the teddy.
Thanks for sharing your talent once again
Blessings, Julia

It used to be hard for me to donate. I attached memories and feelings to each item. I finally understood it is okay to let go of the physical item and trust that the memories will stay. Gretchen

Thank you very much, Gretchen. Moving so many times (close to 30 times) I lost many things along the way, it feels good to let go but sometimes I miss something.

It's true. Sometimes a child's special toy is too precious to give away and it probably wouldn't bring much resale value. Great story told in your haiku. I can just hear the little girl crying!
