Dad passed in August of this past year, and his very special friend Margaret passed in 2001. This Christmas we received a parcel from my brother and his wife. We unwrapped this sweet little tin to find these two precious tiny teddy bears and this note. We could not have received a more thoughtful and meaningful gift. I think a nice tradition would be to keep them on our fridge this year and then each year at Christmas pass them back and forth amongst us kids. The note that came with them reads:

We will keep them on our fridge too and know they will bring back the most precious memories of Dad and Margaret. (The note is in comment section)
