Thank you for sharing this. It touched my heart. I never liked the baby dolls when growing up like my sister did. Mom always liked the baby dolls, but I wanted the ones I could fix their hair etc. Before mom died in 2012 she went and bought herself a baby doll that looked real the Christmas before. I learned the reason mom liked them so much was because when she was growing up she never had one, and always wanted one. She also loved little kids, and lived to see her great grand daughters, even one at 12 years of age. Mom was a wonderful mom, and was always there for her children, grand children, and great grand children, helping to clothe and help with the 4 of her 6 great grand daughters. At the funeral the great grand daughters that she helped so much, and seen everyday cried out for her, that would bring everyone to tears. Their mom finally told them that whenever they felt the wind blow it was mamaw giving them a hug.
