Waxman Staff Writer Jan 28, 2014 6:39 PM UTC This past Christmas, a man named Vas Alli decided to repair his fiancée Jessica’s beloved white teddy bear “Whitey”, which was in two pieces at the time and dates back to her mother’s baby shower. The [YouTube video description](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Q8dJsu4SyQ) says he researched vintage teddy bears to figure out how it should be put back together and then took it to the Secaucus Doll and Teddy Bear Hospital. Watch his fiancée’s reaction above — it’s too cute to bear!
