I don't know SB too well, but I always imagined his personality to be a wiser version of Baloo (the one with the bear-necessities); a warm and contented bear, and it almost seems I can "hear" a little grin as he tells his wonderfully entertaining stories. I look forward to reading more of these adventures through life's jungle, and I too will be praying for the comfort of SilverBear as he recovers. Get well soon SilverBear!
