Hellobee Boards

A framed personalized picture with LO's name, birth date, time of birth, length/weight and a Bible verse. It was the only personalized item we received for LO and it means so much to me and my hubby.

This is a long story but I will try to make it short....My grandma passed away a few years back. The day before I was due, my mother and I were out shopping and we ran into a couple that my mother and grandmother were friends with. They congratulated me and casually said our hellos and that was that. Then about two weeks after I had my LO my mom got a package in the mail. It was a blanket that my grandmother had knitted as a gift to their grandchild when she was born. They wrote me the sweetest note about how nice my grandma was and how they felt that something special like this should be kept in the family. I burst into tears. I felt like a piece of my grandmother was with me and my LO. I will always treasure that gift and I am so thankful the couple thought of me and decided to send it to my mom.

@Jamielee: Made me tear up typing it..I thought I was past that point, but nope! lol

My grandmother quilted a beautiful heirloom quilt with a sailboat pattern and my LO's initials embroidered on the sailboats

@CottonCandy: how sweet. I'm totally holding back tears over here

@CottonCandy: aww that made me tear up.
