Today,
I want to share what I have received yesterday from Kelly's Organization--
Sufficient Grace Ministries for Women. I received both Comfort Bear and
Dreams of You Memory Book. I felt so happy and blessed to receive such
wonderful keepsake. Holding the bear makes me think about my baby Alanna.
The bear feel so soft on my skin like a baby. It just felt so different when
you hug the bear. I guess that's why they call it "comfort bear". I had to
hold my tears when I opened the huge box. At first I was successful but then
when I started reading the memory books contents (comforting scripture from the Bible, inspirational poems, as well as Kelly’s personal
story of loss, grief, hope and healing) my tears were just
rolling down.
When my 6-year old daughter arrived from school, she
started hugging the bear and instantly fell in love with it. She started
putting bracelets and princess crown on it. I just can't help imagining that
bear to be her little baby sister.♥♥♥ She was all smiles playing with the
bear.
To Kelly and the members of the Sufficient Grace
Ministries-- thank you, thank you so much for everything you've sent me.
What you are doing is really amazing.

Comfort Bears were
created by Kathy Rutter in 2005 for grieving mothers to have
something to hold to ease the ache of empty arms. Kathy created each
one with a grandmother’s love and prayers. After a valiant battle
with cancer, Kathy went home to heaven in October of 2006. Today her
legacy continues as the Helping Hands Ministry gathers to sew the
bears, sending a grandmother’s love and prayers along with each one.

"The
Dreams of You Memory Book was created for mothers and families who
have lost a baby. It
includes places for parents to journal the dreams they had for their
baby, their journey of loss and healing, letters to baby, pages to
record the baby’s statistics, memorial service, baptism, footprints,
mementos, etc. Also included are inspirational poems and comforting
scripture from the Bible, as well as the author’s personal story of
loss, grief, hope and healing."
