Dave's bear part 2

 Here is another bear made from a man named Dave's shirt. His family has ordered more bears after this one. My friend helped me out again with the embroidery. 

Dave worked at the Catholic Cemetery Association. I'm not sure what his job was there, but from the various marks on the shirt, it showed he worked hard at what he did. 


 When I make a bear for someone, I like to think about the person as I work. What their life was like, did they have a family? What did they do for a living, what kind of person were they?  As I work, I pray for the families of the person.

I watch a YouTube channel where the man said that he knows he will eventually be forgotten after he dies. He didn't mind. His goal in life is to work hard to make an impression on other people's lives while he is here.  I thought that was a really nice way to think about my life too. I hope I am doing just that by making bears for other people.  I hope it helps them with their grief.
