30 Years Ago, This Mom Bought 2 Identical Teddies - One For Her Son And Another For Her Son's Child

In 1985, one mom bought her son two identical teddy bears – one for him to play with, and one was placed in storage for him to give to his own children when he grows up. Now that his first child was finally born, his younger brother created a photo comparing the two reunited teddies.
The younger brother, who posted the two photos on Reddit, wrote that the played-with bear had “been on many vacations, gotten soaked in pool water time and time again, and got lost on a theme park ride at Disney World. It has certainly seen a lot.” If you've still got your childhood teddies with you, you can add their pic to this post below!
"When my brother was born in 1985, my mother purchased two identical teddy bears. The one on the left has been my brother's for 30 years, the one on the right has been kept in storage for my brother's first child who was born today"
