55-Year-Old Hears Late Mother's Voice In Teddy Bear - Inspirational Videos

It is never easy to lose a loved one. Even though we know that they are in a better place and any pain and suffering is gone, we still miss them here on Earth.

55-year-old Bernadette Weekes has been missing her mother since she passed away a few months ago. This Georgia woman truly held a special place in the hearts of those around her and her absence is deeply felt. Bernadette was the primary caregiver for her mother and one of the phrases that she always said was ‘I love you.’ This gave Bernadette’s son, Patrick, the idea to do something extra special for his mother to make sure that her own mom was always with her, no matter what.

So he went to the local Build-A-Bear Workshop and had a custom teddy bear made just for his mother. Using a recording of his grandmother’s voice, Patrick was able to build his mom a bear that played this very touching phrase. Just watch as she opens up the box to reveal the teddy bear. At first, she isn’t sure what to think. But then, Patrick instructs her to squeeze the bear’s hand and Bernadette is overcome with emotion. It’s obvious that this gift is absolutely priceless.

Now, Bernadette can always carry a piece of her mother with her and be reminded that she is so loved. What a beautiful gift from a very caring and thoughtful son. I know my eyes are filling up with a few tears right now. What about yours?
