Molly Bears
Here is the story of Molly Christine:
We lost our angel, Molly Christine at 34 weeks, on May 30th 2010. I was given a weighted teddy bear from a dear friend from high school. This bear weighed three pounds. In an effort to have a bear that weighed the same as Molly, I bought a shell and a package of rice. In the middle of the produce isle, I carefully weighed rice, fluff and the shell. I am sure people thought I was crazy, but I did not care. I went home and with my children and husband, we created the very first Molly Bear. For the first time in weeks, I was able to sleep holding her. It was then that I knew I had to find a way to help other angel families. We officially started in August 2010 and currently have over 4,000 orders and have created over 2,000 bears. We are in 50 states and 13 countries. Often times we are in awe of the amount of people who say Molly’s name. Words can not describe how humbled we are. This road has been hard and continues to be long, but we travel one day at a time and we are in wonderful company.
