"The Gift of the LadyBug"- thank you Lorch Family!

Thank you Lorch Family! Yesterday I received the sweetest book from one of Lily's Facebook friends called "The Gift of the LadyBug". 

This book is incredibly sweet as we call Lily "Lily Bug" and lady bugs are a sign of Lily to us. I got this yesterday and sat all the kids down and read it to them. I cried.. so sweet- the gesture and this book. 

Two horses wanted a baby so bad and they had a
little ladybug. They loved their child so much that they didn't notice that their child was "different". They didn't know until they took their baby "Polkadot" to the doctor. That is when the doctor told them that their baby was different and that he was not like other horses. They learned then that their baby Polkadot would not live as long as horses normally do..

That part is when the horses started to cry because they knew that they would one day lose their sweet baby Polkadot and that is when I started to cry as I read the book too.. Such a sweet book with great meaning. The author came up with the concept of the book when doctors at the Cleveland Clinic told her that her son may not make it to his second birthday and he did end up becoming an angel at just 14 months old.

Even when our babies are different they are worth loving and they are worth a chance at life. Great book and I recommend it to anyone that has lost a child or even for families that have not.. cherish every minute that you have with your children..

Thank you to the Lorch Family for thinking about sweet Lily Grace and her family!!
