At ten o’clock she walked him to his room. When she opened the door, he was stunned by what he saw. The color of the walls were the only thing that had remained the same. His Mother had removed his childhood mementos and turned his room into a nursery. A white-painted baby crib stood in the center of the room against the window. It had a large headboard which had a pastel painting of diapered teddy bears. Stuffed toy animals were lined up against the bars along the window side of the crib. The curtains were gaily colored and had the same teddy bear motif as the crib. Even the walls had cut-out posters of teddy bears.
