Years passed. The nightmares stopped. The closet stayed empty.<\/p>\n

And Micah? He grew into a young man who understood what it meant to truly fight for someone you love.<\/p>\n

Zayden never let go of his teddy bear. But one day, he handed it to Micah.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy?\u201d Micah asked, confused.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause I\u2019m okay now,\u201d Zayden said. \u201cYou carried me when I couldn\u2019t carry myself. Now you can let that go too.\u201d<\/p>\n
