There are stories we read as children that stick to our bones and help us learn tough lessons that are easier to digest when told through a toy rabbit or a silly old bear. We bury them deep inside of our hearts and often they are forgotten, their origins a distant memory.

We know the lessons, but we tend to forget the friends that taught them to us. They are some of the most reliable things on earth; always true, always constant. A touchstone we can place in our palm to remind us what we’ve always known.
