A bear and a doll.
Receivers of whispers, tears and hugs.
Keepers of secrets.
Endurers of snot, vomit and hot baths.
Sufferers of hair-loss, broken voice box and worn-out elastic.
Providers of unwavering emotional support until retired.
Condemned to wardrobes.
Packed and moved between countries and cities.
Shunned by the next generation.
Appreciated late in life.
Protected species.
