333🐻💝

My dearest mom is an angel now. A few months ago I kept seeing 333. In looking it up it can mean: you are loved, you are not alone, heaven is close. I believe it was a little whisper, a message that she was getting ready to go and that she would never really leave.

She taught me how to sew. Everything I’ve built with Carrie Bears over 25 years started at her sewing machine, with a little girl at her side. Every bear I’ve made from a loved one’s clothing came from her.

So of course it’s a bear. 🐻

I’m still so sad, and I’m taking my time. Thank you for every kind word and every prayer. Mom, I love you forever, and I’ll keep looking for you. 💗

“Always my mom.”
My mom, Joyce, my brightest light, has gone home. And oh, did she live up to her name. She was pure joy.

Heaven now has the best angel ever😇✨

She taught me to sew, and that gift became Carrie Bears. Everything I make carries a piece of her.

Her soft smile. Her happy eyes. Her prayers that go straight to heaven. Her kindness that reached everyone she was with. Her goodness to the core, not a bitter or unkind thought.

My heart aches in a way I don’t have words for. 💔 The world is a little dimmer without her in it. I can imagine the long awaited tight embrace from my dad as they reunited.🥹

I know those of you who follow this account know. You’ve had heart ache. Even though she was 93 and lived a “good long life” it was a shock. We really thought she’d keep on living. And she certainly will in my heart 💔🙏

Stay close by when you can Mom. I love you more than I can say. ♥️

Sitting here with my friend and her dad’s sweater bear 🐻♥️

Every time she holds him, she feels her dad. Honestly, she feels him everywhere. In the little things, the quiet moments, and now in a soft, huggable bear made from the sweater he wore.

This is why I do what I do. Grief doesn’t go away, but it can be held. 🐻🤎

Four generations of grandmothers. One cemetery. One incredible legacy. 🌙

Visiting them at dusk — when it’s still light but the moon is already rising — feels like sacred timing. I can feel their strength standing right there with me. I feel them cheering me on.

So grateful for the women who came before me. 🐻♥️

Some bears carry one story. This one carries two.
💙💗🐻

Her Dad’s denim polo. Her Mom’s pink sweater.
Side by side.

And on the back? A photo of the two of them making a giant heart with their hands. Love, right there, forever. 🥹🐻💞

Watching someone hold their people again never gets old.🐻🤗

31 years ago today, my dad died. A bowel obstruction — sudden, just gone. 💔

His clothes became the very first Carrie Bears, made for my siblings so they'd have something of him to hold to. This one is mine. Every stitch, a piece of him still here.

That loss is where this whole journey started — turning grief into something you can hold in your hands. I miss you every day, Dad. 🐻♥️
