May I introduce to you...
drum roll please...
miss flopsy doodle-dandy and miss bella bear !
who are infamous to say the least,
each with their own twin,
and very much loved and cuddled members of our family...
More than 1 in 3 of us still sleeps with a soft toy as we cuddle down to sleep at night. I'm not ashamed to admit that I sleep with these adorable and beautiful duo and have done now for two years. Flopsy doodle-dandy came into our bed two years ago tonight; I brought her in with the hope the I would find comfort, security and a sense of peace. Flopsy, I hoped, was to be my saviour as I reached new depths of despair. Now, just like my children who sleep with their own original Flopsy and Bella too, I seek the softness of their bodies as I find my peaceful slumber, as I turn in bed I reach for them - I find some peace with them close by.
Two years ago today we found out that our future was about to change; we didn't know the details, we didn't have a diagnosis, but all was not as we hoped for Eilidh. We were to have a week without answers, a week of darkness and despair, and all we had to hold on to was each other and flopsy doodle-dandy and bella bear too.
