Thank you for wanti...Alisha - that is really sweet. Thank you for wanting to share Gwen' that way...so Lillian isn't the only one who carries this knowledge in her head (that some kids have heart surgery). <br /><br />And, hmmmmm (I hadn't honestly been to the bummer bear site yet) and that is too bad... it would be great if they donated some of their proceeds to something related to hospital kids...even if it was just a general fun. Too bad.<br /><br />And, you know what - I'd LOVE to have that embroided on Gwen's monkey - can I ask you for that still, can it be added somehow? (and please know, there is a lifetime time-line, so no hurry, well, I hope...and as far as I know, we've got time :) ). I was just looking at a photo of Dr. Sock Monkey and Gwen at CHOP the other day. He is SO special to me. With a "mended heart"...it would be always so clear, who's monkey it is.<br /><br />Smiles and huggles to Silas - I get happy thinking about him!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01636940968443803811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-306107524532533616.post-71715515005394850062011-04-06T17:05:51.410-04:002011-04-06T17:05:51.410-04:00When Silas is bigger, I want to get him the mended...When Silas is bigger, I want to get him the mended heart bear. I've been contemplating and struggling with how and when he'll be ready to learn about Gwen and babies like her. It seems like that sort of thing might help. I wish some of the proceeds went to CHD, though.<br /><br />I never told you this, but I was going to embroider a mended heart on Gwen's monkey....but I was in a rush to send it, so I didn't. I also thought you might think that was weird...Ailihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15778690707580603910noreply@blogger.com
