Success! Thank You

Thank you to everyone who was able to donate for Logan's Buddies. I was amazed at how many people donated and how many buddies we were able to get. 47 buddies to be exact..WOW! 

This was a way for me to heal and do something wonderful in my son's name. I wanted his experience and spirit to comfort and love other babies and families. 

At first when we started it I was hoping that he would be in the NICU during Christmas and it would be a way to bring comfort to the families spending that day at the hospital. However, things took a turn for the worst and I wasn't sure what to do about it anymore. I felt embarrassed asking people to donate because I didn't want anyone to feel obligated. That's when I was so touched by how many people Logan had touched while he was here on earth. Such a sweet little guy had such a BIG impact. 

My sister Sheena is a nurse at McKay on the peds floor. She was working the other day and was in a patients room and noticed he had a Scentsy buddy. (they had so many that they gave a few to the peds floor) 

It happened to be the Lion which was Logan's buddy. She said that she immediately felt like Logan was there with her. I was glad I was able to hear a little bit about the effect it has had on other families. I know my buddy is what I hold when my arms feel empty and sad. Although, Roarbert was a lot bigger than Logan was. 

Logan's trademark is Lion's. At first I was going to do a monkey safari themed room but when my mom and I went to pick out his fabric none of the monkey fabric was what I was quite looking for. Than I found THE cutest fabric ever. It was safari themed but with Lions, giraffes, elephants, and hippos. The colors were perfect and the animals were more vintage looking than cartoon like. I fell in love immediately. So I ordered Roarbert the Lion from the Scentsy Buddies and it sat in his closet waiting to be placed in his crib. 

After we had Logan, I was so grateful I already had his lion because I was able to bring him up to the NICU to "watch over" my baby while I couldn't be there. I never thought that Scentsy buddies would hold such a special place in my heart. These will be baby gifts for all future cousins, friends, and my babies. Because I want Logan to always watch over the ones I love.
