[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a friend who lost a baby girl and she was VERY much looking forward to this little girl after 3 beautiful boys.  She had a room full of pink everything after multiple showers and a large extended family celebration, as girls were very rare in her family.  She contacted a pregnancy center and said she would like to have a "shower" for anyone in crisis expecting a girl. She put all her stuff in her van and drove it over and "hosted" the shower.  She has done this every year for 8 years.  She always hosts a shower for "a little girl" in honor of her little girl.  She's gone through different agencies and one time adopted a specific family but its always done on the same date ( 4 weeks after the birth date) and its always a shower to _________ from ______(her daughters name).   I know nothing else about this woman but I just really think thats remarkable to mold something so painful into something so positive.  She has a page "Larla's annual shower" where you can donate items …anything unused NIP or very lightly used.  She has a picture wall in her house of all the showers and all the babies who she "showers" are given a bday gift every year too.  Its just really inspiring. When Im having a bad day I think about how that lady really turned sh*t around and I can too. The one time I met her (I'm a social worker and our paths crossed) she went "I weed out the cheap looking crap because I want these girls to have the best of the best of the best."  Now these are women that barely had bus fair to the shower itself so its just a really amazing experience for them. [/quote]

What a nice story. I have a friend whose fiancé left her a couple days before their massive, lavish wedding. She donated everything to throw a "prom" for disadvantaged kids who couldn't afford to go to their proms. [/quote]
