Annabelle’s bow…

A dear friend and neighbor of ours, Annabelle, gave us this little girl’s hair bow several years ago, a hand-me-down that has been a beautiful companion to many precious Christmas dresses and childhood memories for years. As I pulled it out this Christmas, possibly for Mary Clare, it immediately reminded me of another sweet Annabelle that has touched our lives forever. A heart sister of Mary Clare’s, and now angel, that I have thought of so often this Christmas season. I decided not to use the bow for Mary Clare, but to honor our sweet baby friend, Annabelle, who was rarely without a big beautiful bow just like this one. I placed it near the top of our Christmas tree and thought of her daily as I admired it. This bow ornament will forever adorn our beautiful Christmas trees in honor of our even more beautiful heart baby, Annabelle. We are so thankful for her life.
