May Miracles: One in particular...

Let's go back a bit...and yes this will be about jewelry...eventually.

When I first became pregnant with Ian I needed all the support I could get. In real life, online, whatever! I was blessed to find IVillage and to become part of the May 2004 Expecting Club. I met many incredible women and I am happy to say that I have remained friends with many of them to this day! Yes for over 7 years I have had these friendships. These friendships have meant as much, and sometimes more, than some friendships I have had in real life. I have laughed with these Moms, cried with these Moms and we have been there for each other, and yes sometimes we have even had silly little high school tiffs-see just like in real life:)

I am also happy to say that I have met some of these Moms in real life and you know what, they are just as FANTASTIC in real life as they are online:)

One of these Moms has a special place in all of our hearts. Kerry. I am not going to go into the full story becasue I can't even begin to do it justice with my pieced together blog, but you can read about her, her husband Patrick and their AMAZING son Finnegan at http://finnzfundz.blogspot.com/. Plus if I start typing about it the tears will be flowing and I will never finish this entry. I would also put a plug in to donate to Finnz Fundz if you can, even a little bit can help.

Anywoooo, where I am going with all of this is here: Mom and I were shopping for beads, wire, and many other things and came to the end of our trip and she noticed a clearanced bowl of different charms. She picked one up and said "this one looks like a butterfly." I snatched it up, as I knew that butterflies are something that Kerry looks at as a reminder of her beautiful little boy Finn (and that is why you see butterflies flying on Facebook through me and the other Moms). So I wasn't done shopping because I think that Finn was telling me that his Mom needed a new necklace:)

And that whole thing about not crying, well that didn't happen, but I still finished...barely.
