Oh my goodness, this morning I came across this beautiful Precious Moments figurine called Mommy's Love Goes With You. I am not normally one that likes these figurines and prefer Willow Tree figurines, but this one is absolutely beautiful. It brought tears to my eyes.
It speaks a thousand words of what a mommy feels when she gives her baby over to the Lord. Instead of tightly clinging to her baby as if she/he was hers to keep, this shows a mother willingly giving her baby to an angel to carry to Heaven. The mother has a tear streaming down her face, representing her sorrow, but also a smile on her face, representing her great joy. With outstretched arms, she willingly gives her baby back to the One who she truly belongs to, sending her forever love along with her precious little one. She fully trusts and knows she/he is in the best care possible, in the arms of Jesus. She knows that her Heavenly Father loves her sweet babe more than she ever could and that He has a plan for her sorrow and a purpose for her baby's life and legacy.
I hope to get one of these at some point. Apparently they were discontinued in 2007 and lots of babyloss moms have been wanting them back, so they are making them again! And they will begin shipping them out in October, Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month. How appropriate, right? Apparently, a blog friend told me they were selling on eBay for $1,200 before they brought them back because people wanted them so much!
If you want to get a figurine for yourself or someone dear to you who has lost a baby, you can do so on the website. They are $50 plus around $10 for shipping. On their website they say, "It is our hope that it brings a bit of peace to hearts that hurt beyond words." Indeed they will...
Love it so very sweet!
ReplyDeleteI was so excited to see your blog post yesterday. These figurines were discontinued a month before Calypso died. I've searched EVERY flea market and antique store I've come across for 5 years looking for one. So I immediately called my mom and gave her the link. She ordered me one. I feel like I'm at the end of a long treasure hunt. Thank you so so much for sharing this with us
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh Hannah I am just in tears!! I am Jessica's mom, she is the mom to Jake from Stillbornstillloved.blogspot.com, and I think y'all are friends on Facebook too LOL. I just happened to find your page today because I want to find her one of these and I knew they had been discontinued!! You have totally made my day by sharing this information and I am so excited to be able to order one! :) She is out of town this weekend but will be thrilled to find out she can still get one!! Much love and many hugs your way Hannah <3
ReplyDeleteI am thanking you so much for helping my granddaughter. She lost twins before they were born, and is trying to go on with her life, she saw this figurine and just had to have it. I hope it helps her because none of us know how she feels.
