Feeling a bit sentimental today, perhaps I should write about "D" and "W".

"D" and "W" have been with me for the past 10 years.

A few weeks after we knew each other, Dearie (know as "Dave" back then, no fancy names like Dearie or hubby chew), gave me "W" - it is obviouly, the initial for my name. That day, I was sick - he called and said had something to pass to me. Met him downstairs and he passed me the gift. I was pleasantly surprised as I never know that a sick person is entitled to a free gift! We were merely friends then. But of course, "Dave" left a deep impression and earned himself many cookie points!

"D" came along much later, after we got together. According to Dearie, it took a while as he was saving money for it!

The amazing thing is that I did not throw "D" and "W" away ever after we have parted ways. The 2 bears sat quitely in a shoe box, tucked in a corner of my room. In the same shoe box, lies the rest of the cards that were sent to me (from him), over the years. Its strange, as I would usually discard things like that from my exs. And he too, did not throw away the cards that I gave him though he contemplated.

Now, we have collated all the cards and they are now being kept in one my drawers.
As for "D" and "W", they saw light again (out of the shoe box), the very day we got back together. Its funny, did we all secretly expect this day to come?

By the way, the dark brown bear sitting next to Winnie, is named "DW" - "D" and "W" combo / inspired! Lame??? Ask Dave - his the culprit!
