Layla's Impact

I have written so many posts in the last couple days. I decided to condense a few.

1 - Nobody should get sympathy cards and Christmas cards at the same time. That stinks.

2 - My brother-in-law and his fiance are teachers at a school in Milwaukee. The teachers there had teddy bears donated to the Children's Hospital of Milwaukee in Layla's name! It made me so happy to know that Layla is still making an impact in other people's lives.

3 - My mom's Aunt & Uncle sent a card and a note saying they sent a donation to Faith's Lodge in Layla's name. Come to find out, Faith's Lodge is a place for people who are coping with the death of a child. It's located in Danbury, WI and it's the only place like it in the country! What a unique gift that will help the healing process for someone who is going through this situation.

4 - Kylie was telling me a story the other night. "Once upon a time, there was an angel named Layla. She had a little big heart." It made my heart smile. I always talk to Kylie about Layla. I want her to remember her little sister.

5 - I received a pretty cool gift the other day from the MOPS group at our church. It's a piece of wall art that says, "Faith shines brightest in the dark".


Matthew 4:16 - "the people who sat in darkness have seen a great light. And for those who lived in the land where death casts its shadow, a light has shined."

Thank you, ladies. I know you have been thinking and praying for me and my family so much. I love this gift as a great reminder of the blessings that have come from this journey.

Your gift has also trigged a few more thoughts that I'll blog about soon. :)
