I don't know who created National Teddy Bear Day, but today's the day. I know it was President Theodore Roosevelt who inspired the cuddly stuffed animals and New York store owner Morris Michtom is credited with making the fist one. My mom collected teddy bears, and when she passed away, many of hers came to live with me. I also gave a lot of them to the San Francisco Fire Department. The Chief told me it is comforting to a child who was just in an accident or fire to be given a cute bear. There is a small one that my mom used to order in large quantities to give to special people in her life.
