Bella Bear

A very special package I'd been waiting for since December arrived last week.

This is our "Bella Joy" bear.  She is a Molly Bear created by another angel baby mom--customized with a little giraffe on her tummy and weighted to match Bella's birth weight-- 7 pounds and 15 ounces.

Only memories of our daughter remain, so this is a very special way to capture one I'd already forgotten--exactly how heavy my little baby felt in my arms. 

Caroline never met her little sister.  But because of this bear, she is proud to say that she would have been strong enough to hold her.  I'm grateful to have found a new way for her to know a little more about Bella.
