Every once and awhile, a project comes along that is so special, it's hard to even write about. I have never been one who comfortable speaking about the loss of my friend's loved ones. In fact, when it comes to the passing of a friend's mother or father, I feel that the best approach is utter silence and respect. Why? Because at the end of the day, you don't know anything about the special bond between a mother and a daughter, or a son and a father. In my opinion, it's just too sacred for me to speak to. So, for this post, I am going to include an excerpt that Emily wrote about her mother to give you an idea of just how special her custom ring bearer pillow truly was. Ok, hang on. I have to get ready for this.
"I'm still in denial about my mom being truly gone and it confuses me more than not. I know she's not here because I'm not an idiot but I truly feel her around me but then that makes me have a lump in my throat immediately when I think or say that. Everyone grieves differently, and it's just hard sometimes. I miss you mommy. I know you are with me always. I just want you physically back and get to know my husband."
Last year, we had the honor of creating a ring bearer pillow for Emily's wedding using a shirt from her mom's closet. And honestly, that's all I am going to say about that. So much love and respect for you Emily.

Interested to see the making of her ring bearer pillow from beginning to end? Click here to see the reel that we made last year. I am going to warn you though. You might want to grab a box of tissues. This one is incredibly touching and special.
