Her willingness to help the angel-in turn-helps the ladybug find her gift of Peace.Our mother died after a long battle with Multiple Sclerosis. Before her disease, she was blessed with many talents to include creating small stuffed animals she called bug buddies. Her favorite was the ladybug. Our mom lived her life much like a ladybug by making others happy who would instinctively smile when in her presence. The day after our mom's burial, we were visited by a ladybug that stayed with us until we placed it on a rose above our mother's final resting place. The Ladybug's Gift © serves as a reminder that our loved ones are never really gone. Because of the ladybug's visit, we were comforted in our sorrow. The simple act of a ladybug's visit reminded us of the power of Faith, Hope and Love and that our departed loved ones remain with us, in more ways than one. Chris and Ryan were compelled to share this incredible experience in the hopes it will help others cope with the loss of a loved one by experiencing God's peace.
