A New Star in the Sky


Please look up the starry sky and look for a new bright star.
Our most beloved girl has crossed the Rainbow Bridge.


Tekoah Teddy Bear Necessity
August 23, 1995 - November 10, 2005




She was 10 years old.

She died from an accident; she swallowed a long elastic band without our knowledge, which slowly but surely sliced into her intestine causing intestinal liquid leakage. By the time she was operated on to remove the foreign object from her intestine, it was too late. The poison had spread throughout her body and she died from multiple organ failure two days after the surgery.

The surgery was a success. We thought she'd recover because there was life in her eyes as if she was fighting for life, but in the end, her heart could not bear the burden and just stopped.

We are crushed and totally devastated by this loss.

She has taken a very big chunk of our heart with her. Even though that's rightly hers to take because we so willingly gave it to her, the wounds are just so raw and painful. We've always imagined it would be, but we had no idea how painful it really is.

A dear friend of ours who also shared a very close heart with Teddy described that Teddy was our sun, moon, and stars. She was our universe, the very center of our existence. She was the "bear necessity" of life.

We've always known and even hoped that Teddy would go before us, but now that it actually happened, we find ourselves totally at loss to deal with the grief that's riddled with emptiness, guilt, and regrets. We've always tried to do right by her, but what did all that matter at the end when we failed her when she most needed us? Her death could have been prevented if only ... we did so many things differently. We are being haunted by so many what-ifs.

The same wise friend who said Teddy was our sun, moon, and stars also said that Teddy's life wasn't defined by her last moments only because those were her last. Her life is defined by what we shared before those moments, the fact that we cherished the very special connection and bond between us. Such a thought gave us an enormous comfort because Teddy really was a once-in-a-lifetime influence to us.

Teddy was our dream-come-true that taught us everything we hold dear to our hearts in life. She defined the way we think and live. She gave us many friendships that will last our lifetime. Our life would have been very different if it were not for Teddy, and most likely not for the better.

So dear friends and family, we ask you to please remember about our most beloved girl.
Our joy who was loved beyond words can possibly describe.
Our treasure who became the bright star in the sky.

If tears could build a bridge and memories a lane, we'd walk to heaven and bring you back home again, Teddy.
