Meine Familie besuchte Deutschland zusammen mit einem Freund von uns, der dort geboren wurde, aber seit Jahren nicht mehr dort war. Wir gingen in seine Heimatstadt, fuhren nach Frankreich, durch Luxemburg, Belgien, Holland und zurück nach Deutschland.
Irgendwann haben wir eines der Kuscheltiere meiner Tochter verloren. Es war ein kleiner Pandabär namens Maggie. Wir haben alle Unterkünfte, in denen wir übernachtet haben, überprüft und alles Mögliche versucht, um sie zurückzubekommen, aber wir hatten kein Glück.
Um ihr ein besseres Gefühl zu geben, erzählte ich meiner Tochter, dass Maggie ihre Zeit in Deutschland genauso genossen haben muss wie wir und sich im Wald zu Hause gefühlt hat, also beschloss sie, dorthin zu ziehen.
Hier ist meine Bitte: Wenn jemand bereit wäre, einen Brief zu schreiben und ihn an meine Tochter zu schicken, würde ich gerne die Kosten für die Post zumindest mindestens übernehmen. Wir sind in den USA, daher kann ich mir vorstellen, dass internationale Post mindestens mehrere Euro kosten würde. Wenn Sie zufällig in der Gegend von Kaiserslautern sind, wo Maggie unserer Meinung nach verloren gegangen ist, umso besser.
Ich werde unseren Namen und unsere Adresse aus offensichtlichen Gründen hier nicht veröffentlichen, aber wenn Sie interessiert sind, kommentieren Sie mich bitte oder schreiben Sie mir direkt eine Nachricht.
Bearbeiten: Hier ist ein Bild von Maggie mit einem Teil ihrer Familie. Der zweite Link ist, wie Maggie aussah, als sie strahlend weiß und neu war, aber seitdem ist sie gereist und hat ein Leben geführt.

Anyone willing to write a letter from my daughter's lost teddy bear?

I would be more than happy to! Please message me, was it the small panda from Ikea?
If the panda ever starts traveling, I’m happy to write her postcard from Dresden, no reimbursement needed! Maybe she hurt her paw and now has a different handwriting…
I’m happy to do it too – send me any photo of the panda and we create a cute story. DM me, so I‘ll send you my email address.
I would love to send her a letter from her panda! I’m not really near Kaiserslautern but I live near Frankfurt Airport. So if you happen to find a “new Maggie”, I could send a “I’m on my way” letter from “the airport” ☺️
This reminds me of one of my favourite books as a child “Briefe von Felix”
You are a wonderful parent!
If you think that Maggie might have also visited BERlin to meet more bears travelling to Germany, I would be more than happy to send a letter from here!
The bear is our coat of arms – it just seems like a very logical thing to for her 😊
You can join Postcrossing.com and ask people to write postcards
What a great idea!
If you want one from Munich just shoot me a DM with the address! No need to pay for postage, I’d be happy to help. There is a park here with various Asian gardens (Japanese, Chinese, Nepalese…) – maybe Maggie made her home there? Or she just traveled through. Whatever fits best depending on how many cards/letters she gets to send… 😉
I’m from the Kaiserslautern area and I’m willing to help 🙂
This sounds like a letter assignment for a B1 test preparation course
Hehe, if you can imagine, Maggie getting bitten by thre travel bug and visiting Lübeck (in northern Germany) in the course of her explorations, I can send a postcard too. 🐼
Not from Kaiserslautern area but happy to write a letter as well 🙂
I actually live in Kaiserslautern area. Let me know if I should send your daughter a letter or postcard from here 🙂 I love the idea of creating the story of Maggies own adventures in Germany!
I’d love to send a letter on behalf of Maggie 🐼
I live in the Alps near Neuschwanstein. I couldn’t send some pictures of Christmas Markets and write a letter. Iam mother of 3 german-us Americans and 3 grandchildren
Is it this one from nici?

I know a lot of persons already agree to write…. I‘m from the middle of the woods 😉in the triangle Kaiserslautern – Landau – Pirmasens. So I’ll be the back up for the first person who wanted to write 😁
Hey, I’m sure this is a well-meant idea, but in my case, it backfired. I also lost my favorite plushy while travelling as a child. My parents did exactly what you described, except I was able to put clues together about at some point after. realizing they lied to me. It felt like a huge betrayal to the elementary school me, and I was genuinly sad and withdrew myself for 2-3 days once it came out.
As lovely as the idea sounds, I’d advise against it, if it was truly important to her.
There is a sub that is really good at finding things. (Not the actual thing but a replacement for something broken/ lost/…) I’m sure they could find it if you want to have the same teddy bear. I think it’s r/helpmefind
As a fellow stuffie enthusiast I would love to send a letter to your daughter! 🥰 just message me and we can exchange any specific details you want mentioned
Did Meggie made it to Cologne along the way? If so, I’d be happy to write
still in need for letters? send me a DM!
This is so sweet. I’d be happy to write a letter but I live in Austria. If you find a way to work that into the canon…
I was hospitalized earlier this year for a few weeks and in order to make the separation easier for both me and my 3 year old, I took his stuffed panda with me. My spouse ordered a tiny panda from Ikea to be the “baby” and when I returned home from the hospital, I brought the “baby” with me and we said that the mommy panda went to the hospital to have a baby.
Hi! I am in Finland. I’ve heard Maggie went to see Santa. 😉
