After losing her mom seven months ago, a 19-year-old received an extraordinary gift from her best friend just days before Christmas. Knowing how difficult the holidays had become, her friend created a Build-A-Bear featuring a cherished voicemail from her mom. The voice recording reassures, "Don’t worry about me," a message her mom had sent while in the hospital.

My mom passed when i was 18, i just turned 19 last month and the holidays are rlly hard. my mom spent almost a year in the hospital and she sent my that voicemail. i posted it after she passed and my best friend recorded it and used it for the build a bear. it was a quick interaction cus i was running errands so i stopped by her house and she gave this to me 12/19/2024.
