I know that Christmas is over but that doesn’t mean we can’t share stories like this that are both equally heart-wrenching and heart-warming.

Antonio Vargas Jr. lost his mother back in July. She used to refer to him as her “little monkey”, so for Christmas this year, his father – Antonio Sr. – decided to gift his son a stuffed monkey that he made/purchased from ‘Build-a-Bear’. This wasn’t an ordinary stuffed animal as it had his mother’s voice inside whenever you squeezed the bear’s hands.

Antonio wrote on Facebook, “This is a real big touching moment as a parent prepping this monkey to have a heartbeat and to speak to my son, so that my son can hear his mother’s voice again. She passed away on 4th of July. We always called our son our little monkey. So on Christmas Day, his dream came true!!! I love my little man with all my heart, Daddy loves you.”
