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...
