Help! Lovely messages needed for friend!

[Dahlia]

I know I don't post a lot these days, (never have time) but I need to ask a HUGE favour to anyone who would like to help - my close friend lost her Mum just a few weeks ago, they were very close and it hit my friend very hard. She and her husband have had other family traumas to deal with, and also threat of him being made redundant. All this while she was heavily pg with 2nd child. (Her son was born same day as my dd2) Anyway, she has just given birth to a beautiful little girl called Katie Ruth (Ruth was her Mum's name), and I think it would just be really nice and a boost to her if I could present her with a printout of birth congratulations from people she doesn't even know! I know it meant the world to me when I had dd2, I have kept my printout in dd2's babybook and it still makes me cry now if I look at it. So, I want to do this for her to let her know that there are lots of lovely people out there who can be genuinely happy for anyone who has just had their baby. Sorry to waffle on, but she's been a really good friend to me. Her name is Jo.
Thank you so much! Dahlia x

Many congratulations Jo and family - welcome to Katie Ruth.

I'm another one whose mother didn't live to see her grandchildren and my daughter has my mother's name as a middle name too. We talk to ds and dd about Granny Catherine all the time and as ds has got older, he has started to ask about her and enjoy the stories of my childhood. Take care of yourself and your gorgeous new baby, I'm sure your mother must be very proud of you.
