This bear is one of the more difficult ones I've had to make. I've had these clothes sitting in my closet for over a year and a half, and when I found out Josh's sister was in town visiting from England, I knew it was a sign and time to make one of the bears for the special people in his life. This bear is incorporated with items of Josh's, as well as some of his sisters.
We know Josh was with us during this time - his mom Julie had mentioned to me that Rikki was in town, so I finally opened the bag of his clothes and got to work so she would have this to take back with her. The day I took it out to them at Julie's house, they had just gotten back from honoring Josh's memory and scattering his ashes. If that's not a sign, I couldn't tell you what is. We had an amazing time laughing and sharing and catching up. I know Josh was with us and was happy we were all together.
I'll be working on the other bears in the next coming while, so keep an eye out for more signs of Josh 💜
I love you forever, My Copper 💙💙
