This is the mother-to-be, back in the day.

She loved her blankie with all her heart.

See how she put the cloth right up against her little nose?

This allowed her to suck on her two middle fingers, while the index finger kept the blankie steady.

She had the system down.

Over time, blankie looked a little worse for wear.

Over a long time, blankie got smaller and smaller.

Over a long, long time, this was all that was left of beloved blankie.

I know.

Hard to believe she could love something so much.

She’s about to find out how much more love she has to give.

God bless all the babies and their blankies.
