My neigbor was a very kind and generous man who lived with is daughter and wife. His name was Kaden. Uncle Kaden was a taxi driver. His daughter was about the same age as me. His daughter and I became friends in no time.
When we were kids we really liked Teddy bears. And my uncle bought a teddy for his daughter. I too started to beg for one to my parents. But they said I will get it during Christmas. But I asked them to give it on my Birthday instead. But they denied and said they had already prepared and expensive gift. My birthday was on december 10th. So they said that I would need to wait for only 15 days. I guess uncle Kaden heard my pleas and bought me a very cute and soft teddy on my 6th birthday. Though his daughter seemed little jealous I didn't hesitate to grab it. As days passed his daughter and I started playing with our teddies together. But after few months my uncle started to throw up foam in the middle of night. Everyone woke up and started helping the poor man. All the neighbours were worried and my parents called ambulance. While I didn't knew a single thing. The next day when I woke up I heard that my uncle had died due to some illness leaving his wife and 6 years old daughter behind. I cried until my head started paining. I questioned my parents about his daughter and they said that she has gone to her grandparents house. I felt very bad and hugged my teddy that uncle had gifted me. Now years have passed and I hope uncle is in a better place now. His daughter visits us sometimes though. Yesterday I went to clean my cupboard and found my teddy. Even though uncle is not a baby he still cries and begs me to let him go. But a teddy without a soul won't be fun. I won't let you go uncle.
