After Mom lost the battle with Breast Cancer a wonderful friend of ours, Judy Ford, offered to create something extra special from mom's clothes. We all agreed to hand over mom's clothes and see what they would be turned into. Here is what we received the other day.
Nana Bear
One for each one of the kids
MOM/Nana Quilt
Butterflies and Ladybugs were a special added touch "Ladybug Kisses and Butterfly Hugs"
The Ladybugs or "nana bugs" were added because the day of mom's funeral a ladybug landed on my kids walking out of the funeral home and they were scared because they both hate bugs. But I told them that it was Nana making sure that they were OK and sending her love from Heaven. They were ok and told Nana that they would see her later. It made that day a lot easier on them and me. Now when we are missing mom/nana so much a little ladybug will show up someplace and it gives us a sense that she is right there watching us and sending her our love. The Butterflies have a similar story but for my grandmother (my mom's mom). After grandma passed away we saw butterflies everywhere. On cards found in the house, pillows that grandma made, and then that spring lots of butterflies. It was the same feeling, Grandma checking in on the family.
