Emma Liz asked this question about Winnie-the-Pooh (Winnie-the-Pooh, #1):

“If there ever comes a day when we can't be together, keep me in your heart. I'll stay there forever.” This quotation has been attributed on this site to A.A.

It's poetically strung together from a series of ideas in the last scene in the second book, The House at Pooh Corner. I guess it was made as some sort of "greeting card" blurb and was so touching, it spread all over the place. (congrats to whoever that author is). Christopher Robin asks Pooh to promise to never forget about him, then they go off together, but it says they will always be playing there…(less)
