The figure, books, tea cup with teapot, card, certificat, agenda, diary and background are done by me with DAZ 3D Studio 4.7 Pro. Tea and steam added manually. The mannequin is mine and I took a photo of it some years ago. The teddy and the watch are PNG files offered by kind women for personal creative use...thank you <333

I got my first teddy when I was 11 and had to leave him behind when I left Germany at age 13 to come to Luxembourg. I missed him for a long time. I was used to tell him about all my miseries as he was never angry at me, never insulted me or treated me bad, never judged me...he was soft and cuddly and warm. He didn't leave me but I had to leave him...I didn't know that I would never go back to Germany again. I wonder what happened to him...

Das Mannequin ist ein Foto von Dir? Ich dachte, bei dem Programm kann man keine eigenen Bilder verwenden? Ansonsten toll wie immer!

mit "mannequin" meine ich die Holzpuppe auf der Truhe. Die setzte ich nachträglich ein. Die weibliche Figur ist von DAZ.

Dear Gerda...

Your teddy hasnt left you.. nor you him... HE LIVES in your heart... you are inseparable.. you will always be able to talk him.. and in your dreams.. he will softly touch you.

Love never dies Gerda..... never.

Gerda has replied to Pam J club
Yes, dear Pam...teddy still lives in my heart and will never be forgotten as long as my memory works. In this memory is also a wonderful German shepherd who was my first great love...I was 6 then. The dog belonged to a man who had dressed him to kill (a German officer...I will never forget his high boots) and he was always chained to his dog house. We were told not to come near to him but I didn't stick to this and one day I was next to the dog...quietly standing in front of him. He smelled my hand and he was quiet too. I wasn't scared at all and we became great friends. I visited him every day when his master was gone and he layed his head on my knees. I had the feeling that he understood me...looking at me with his amber-colored eyes...whimpering when I was sad.

One day I found him lying beside the street...half dead. I can't explain what I felt and I didn't know what to do. With all my strength I dragged him to the house where we lived and called my mother for help. My mother gave him buttermilk to drink. This made him vomit and some greenish stuff came out. After that he became well again but from that moment on he was always by my side. His master could hit him as much as he wanted...he didn't listen to him anymore. He was next to me when I went to school and waited there for me. As his master (I hated him) had bought and dressed him as his body guard, the dog became useless for him and he gave him away. After that Rex became dangerous and was shot. Being only 6 years old I hadn't thought of such concequences for my best friend.

Cleo was my black German Shepherd .. she saved my life three times. I understand.

Fear not for Rex... he is at the Turtle Pond at The Rainbow Bridge. He sits and waits.. and one day.. you will be by his side.... as I will my Cleo's.

He came to you and looked after you.. that was his job.. and you gave back so much. All IS well. There is a time and season to all things. WE are BLESSED by them. Dont be sad.. they are not.

Today is my Flicka given birthday. I know Cleo sent him to me 9 years ago. He was a rescue.. we rescued each other. I dont know the real day.. but this day 1st March was a fresh start... and his day.

Gerda has replied to Pam J club
Thank you so much for your wonderful words and your touching story, Pam.

Years ago I asked a Cherokee shaman what my name is and in dreamtime he found out that it is "Three Pebbles". He also told me that he saw a wolf in my aura and when I told him about Rex he said that this was Rex in his original form and that he is always with me. I remember that I cried when he told me.

o0o he will always be with you and you with him ... of that I have no doubt. I lost
my first ever teddy just before the age of four .. I was heartbroken ... he was left
in my pram whilst I had lunch, after lunch gone ... unconsolable ... and so up the
town and a new one bought ... he has never left my side ... knows all my secrets,
happiness and heartaches ... and he sits and listens and gives unconditional
love ... and never answers me back ... yours is still listening, still gives
unconditional love and would never answer you back ... teddys are so special ;-)
I love your picture for the memories it brings back to me also .. as with ...
play it again sam ;-) oOo

adorables souvenirs et génial création, beaucoup de travail !
Dans cette période je suis occupée dans un travail de déménagement et tu ne sais pas combien de vielles choses j'ai trouvé, surtout livres, aussi livres de l'école et alors tu peu imaginer comme ils sont "âgés" :)
9 years ago.
Gerda has replied to Nora Caracci club
Merci Nora...oui c'est beaucoup de travail et aussi je fais ces images 3D avec beaucoup de joie et d'enthusiasme. Avant de connaître DAZ 3D il me fallait des stockphotos pour mes photo montages et maintenant je peux faire presque tout moi-même...c'est satisfaisant.
J'ai déménagé tellement souvant quand j'étais jeune et chaque fois j'ai dû laisser des choses derrière moi auxquelles je tenais beaucoup. Ma mère et moi nous prenions le train et nous pouvions seulement amener des valises avec le plus nécessaire...les temps d'après-guerre n'étaient pas si faciles à vivre.
Je te souhaite bon courage avec ton aménagement, chère Nora, et je suis sûre que tu sauras faire un bon choix des choses que tu emmène avec toi et celles que tu laisseras derrière toi.

A lovely creation, Gerda and a very nostalgic feeling. It's surprising how many memories can be stored in an old trunk.

Thank you, Bev...yes, Rex for example...the German Shepherd, he helped me not to victimize me anymore as he showed me that I was stronger than I thought.

Quand on commence à mettre le nez dans les souvenirs, c'est terrible ....
Mes premiers ours, je les ai achetés quand j'avais ... 17 ans, avec mes premiers salaires ! (:o)). Le grand s'appelait Gontran, et le petit Caprice. Je les ai encore tous les deux.
J'aime beaucoup ton image et tes évocations, Gerda. Bisous pour ça.
