Winner of the Stolen Moments Wrap is....

I used Random.org to pick who the winner from the comments left on my rambling post would be and it is.....

Margaret, comment #1, from She's Come Undone.

I should be finished knitting the wrap this week (again, sorry it's not done but last week had me hopping to get the trivia all formatted....if anyone wants or needs seven rounds of trivia and a tiebreaker round for any events just let me know!!). If you could email me at westcoast3m@yahoo.ca, Margaret, we can make arrangements for me to get the Stolen Moments Wrap to you.

Thank you to everyone for commenting on how people have helped or continue to help you as you grieve the loss of a baby or babies. It was very interesting to read everyone's posts, particularly the day after fighting so hard to stay composed at the school fundraiser.

I think that if I had met this mother anywhere else it wouldn't have been so hard. I would have liked nothing better than to go and meet her again and see her beautiful boy. If I could have talked with her and cried without feeling like I was making a spectacle of myself, it would have been fine. I'd love to have asked to hold him, which definitely would have made me tearful thinking about my George....but holding him would have been healing, too. But to be up in front of the whole room as head judge at the table of judges, well, I couldn't very well be swinging from smiles to tears without appearing completely bonkers to everyone. The adults at this event were having a riotous time with trash-talking and hilarious banter so I just couldn't be the wet blanket on everyone else's good time.

So thanks for listening to my internal monologue about how wistful I was last night. I survived it, numbed sad edges warmed slightly and sponsored by Kokanee and my hand held by my loving husband. It was our first social function at the school and I also didn't want to completely derail the evening for my good man.

I survived. And I am so thankful to everyone who left such nice and consoling thoughts for me to read through today. I have been knitting like crazy since George died and I decided to do a second random.org selection for a pair of Toast arm warmers I did in a lovely blue wool with little flecks of colour. The pattern for these is free and I found it posted on this blog.

So the runner-up Toast knit is for comment 16, left by Franchesca from Handprints from Heaven. If you email me I can pop them in the mail to you because unlike the wrap, these are done and sitting on a shelf in my cupboard.... I'll take a photo of them later and post it up.

And now I guess it's on to another day of the Giveaway! Day Four is sponsored by a fellow Canadian blogging bereaved mum, the lovely Lea at Nicholas' Touch.
