The oldest smallest house you can imagine was about to be knocked down. All the things that once made the house and cosy had been thrown outside and piled up in the front garden, from the soft springy bed the ownest slept in, to the old wooden floorboards they used to walk on...
...and even, surely by some mistake, a little brown teddy bear. He was trapped amongst all the other unwanted things, and couldn't move.
Then, one day... a very, very cold day, something fell from the sky... a little snowflake.
It landed on the teddy bear's nose and was then followed by many more. He began to get very cold, very cold indeed.
More and more snow fell, heavier and heavier. The little bear was now so cold that his nose started turning blue...
...so cold that his brown fur started turning grey. He was cold, unloved and all alone in the world and felt very,very sad.
Winter finally passed and the weather got warmer.One beautiful spring day, a little girl was playing near the old house, when she spotted the grey bear in the pile of unwanted things.
He was like no other bear she had ever seen, and she pulled him out from where he was trapped. She dusted him down and lifted him high in the sky to look at him.
"A grey bear with a blue nose?" she thought, "How strange!"
The teddy bear wanted to cry. He thought she didn't like him and would throw him back with the other unwanted things.
"But he's lovely!" she continued, and she fell completely in love with him. She ran home as fast as her little legs would carry her,to see if her grandma could patch him up, as a lot of his stuffing had fallen out, and he was vey much in need of repair.
She looked om as her grandmother replaced his stuffing and patched up his holes. His stiched had started showing where the fur had worn away, but the little girl thought he looked perfect.
It was all cosy and warm in the little girl's house and the bear now felt cosy and warm in his heart. However, his nose was still blue and his fur was still grey, and they would never return to brown. He was unique amongst teddy bear.
The little girl gave him a great big hug. She loved him more than anything else in the world... her little, grey, blue nosed...
...tatty teddy.

А пишу я это историю, потому что мой Ангел подарил мне на день рождения серого мишку с голубым носом и с надписью "Soneone special"... Подарил через маму, которая прятала подарочный пакет от меня два месяца, с Нового года...

Так много хочется сказать тебе... А когда разговариваешь по телефону - все слова куда-то пропадают... А когда мы вместе - слова не нужны, всё и так понятно...
Просто... Спасибо тебе... За всё... За то, что ты есть... Спасибо твоим родителям за то, что ты есть.
Я очень тебя люблю... скучаю... мне плохо без тебя...
Но ты просишь не грустить, и я пробую жить веселее... живу как обычно... с одной лишь разницей - теперь я знаю, чего хочу. Я знаю, что люблю.
