Why It Matters

Today I was packing bundles for the June 4 baby shower at Magnolia Clinic of El Centro de Corazón. In the past, I have worked away late at night after the little ones are fast asleep, but this afternoon my 2-year-old son, Micah, was by my side. For months, he has been aware of the piles of infant bath tubs, diapers, clothing, and blankets growing in our house. We have talked about how these are for little babies like his new sister, Isabel. I realized that I could transform his natural interest into involvement, so I invited him to help me pack the Love Bug Bundles. What a moment. My inspiration and the original love bug is now helping bring necessities to other little love bugs.

Micah loved every minute of the process. Every time he placed an item in a bundle, he pointed to "Micah's" belongings. He even proudly showed me "Micah's" childproofing lock that keeps him out of our armoire. When I think of all of you who donated these baby items, I hope you know that nothing is too small to matter. A childproofing lock brings peace of mind in our home. And it will in anyone else's home. The blanket swaddling my baby girl brings her comfort and security. And it will to any little baby.

For the May 25 shower at Spring Branch Family Clinic, we delivered 12 Love Bug Bundles filled with infant bath tubs, receiving blankets, onesies, wash cloths, childproofing items, ice packs, and nursing cream. For the June 4 shower at Magnolia Clinic of El Centro de Corazón, we will be delivering 9 bundles.

Thank you again for all you do to make our work possible. Every little thing matters.
