Not Only A Talented Blogger But Has A Heart of Gold!

[Lucy & AnnaBelle's Mom]

As I sat at my desk this morning reading over all of the e-mails we have received this week from so many of Sophie's friends, I was reading one from one of our very own, most popular ladies here on DK.  It was at that very moment that someone knocked (very firmly I might ad) on the front door and I about fell off my chair.  The reason for the knock is one that will change me forever.  The Fed Ex man had left a package at our door.  Inside the box was the softest, warmest, most cuddly blanket, covered in photos of our girls!  If I had chosen the photos myself, it would have been the very ones that were there.  It brought back so many beautiful memories for Mike and I as we stood there going, Oh, there is the Santa one, and the one where Wendy taught them to swim, the one with Emma our little dog trainer, the one where Sophie stole Lucy's frisbee, and on and on and on.  I'm guessing I don't have to tell you what happened then.    Anyway, I know that she doesn't do it for the recognition, but I just had to share the blanket with all of you and since many of you will already know when you see it, for those newbies on the site I just want to say to Laurie (and Fudge and Vern and DH too) that you made both of us smile (ok and cry too) today!  This is something that will truly always be treasured by all three of us.  When ever we are feeling sad we can just curl up and relive some of our wonderful memories.  From the bottom of our hearts we say thank you.  Sheri, Mike and Lucy!

Sheri, OMD...I cannot believe it came so soon. I just put the order in on Wednesday. WOW!! I am so glad you liked the pictures that I chose. I kept changing and adding and subtracting and shuffling them. I hope this blanket allows you to wrap yourself up with Sophie from time to time :) I just felt like I knew your sweet girl. You are very, very welcome!

OMD, I'm sobbing right now.  Laurie, you are so special.

Oh that's beautiful!

Oh My stars!  What a wonderful gift. I hope it helps your heart heal just a little as I am sure that is how it was meant.  Prayers and kind thoughts for your heart and for Laurie's too.

You have me crying here, so beautiful and so thoughtful. Something to truly treasure, what could be more comforting than something you can wrap yourself in filled with those memories of a very loved and special girl, a most loved member of your family. Thank you Laurie for giving this most precious gift.
