This is Wellington.
He has lived in our home for many years - a bit longer than I have been around, actually. When I was having abdominal pains not too long ago, I decided he looked cuddly and soft and I wanted to hug him, to protect my belly and act as what I call a "magic pillow".
His name has inspired me to use him as a reminder and a symbol of wellness. There are times when I don't feel so downright awful and I need to notice and appreciate those times. Other times, when I do feel downright awful, Wellington is there for me to soothe me for a bit and appeal to my inner child while I wait out the pain and discomfort.
I want to thank the person who selected this bear as a gift for Don, many years ago. She didn't name it or assign it this purpose, but I'm glad he was there for me to adopt and cuddle, (especially when Don is not available for cuddling). Thanks, Kelly.
