Pippy bear is the last gift I received from grandma before I moved far far away. Home for me wasn't a physical place. Instead, Pippy Bear became the embodiment of "home" representing those feelings of love, safety and imagination. In my mind I now live in a world collecting memories + stories in jars just as I did as a child with my insect collection. Pippy Bear gave me the gumption to go out into the wildest worlds possible, even hurtling into deep space. "Home" was always a bear hug away!
