Bows for Ruby

I know I haven't posted anything in a long time, it's been an extermely busy summer but I plan to do a Summer post so that I can remember all the fun things that have happened.

Sometimes there are stories out there that just break your heart, little Ruby is one of them for me. This poor little baby is now an angel in Heaven and out of pain (she died just a few days ago) you can read her story here. It is just heart breaking to hear what this poor little girl and family are going through. Ruby was waiting for a liver but just didn't make it before she could receive one. Her family's medical bills are sky high and her friends and family are making bows to try and raise money for the family and they are adorable.

They are having an auction as well and I've donated some items from my shop to try and help out, you can find them here and here. For the second one you might have to like bows for Ruby on facebook because the auction is through Facebook. They just received 5000 fans, in just a few short days! That's how compelling her story really is. Even if you are not able to donate, tomorrow everyone is wearing yellow and pink to celebrate her life.

This month is always a hard month for our family, Danielle passed almost 4 years ago this month. I suppose this is why I'm so sensitive about her story, I can't even talk about it without getting all choked up. I've never lost a child, but I've been beside someone who has and it is my biggest fear (every mother's biggest fear). Please be extra sensitive to anyone you know who has and say a little prayer for them.

I promise my next post will be happier, it really has been a fun Summer and I can't wait to post about it.
