The generous funds from this foundation built a storytelling room called "Itty Bitty Forest" at Northside Methodist Preschool, where Bo and Whit attended, in Webb's honor. The room is a precious, happy, joy filled place for the children to use and for our children to cherish for years to come. It is a perfect cause as it is at our church and our children's school, and because Webb loved story time. The Forest is filled with reminders of our sweet boy, bears everywhere since that was his nickname, a portrait of him under a heavenly sky and a verse I hold close to my heart, "Anyone who becomes as humble as this little child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven." Matthew 18:4
My husband and I are parents to four precious children, Bo, Webb, Whit and Bess. On December 26, 2008, our lives changed forever when we suddenly lost Webb, Whit's twin, to a brain tumor. We were left confused, heartbroken and empty. By the grace of God, we are surviving in spite of the most horrific loss. Here is our story....
So, so precious, Ashley - the kind of precious that makes me smile and cry at the same time. What an incredibly special way to honor sweet Webb and what a beautiful vision you and Zac had for this room. You all are on my heart and in my prayers always.
What a beautiful room! You must be so proud of the way it came out. I know it dosn't bring back Webb, but I hope it can be a place not only children gather in but you can go to as well when you need to be with Webb. Thinking of you!
I am not sure that I ever tell you how much I pray for you and have you and your precious family on my mind. One of the things I love about Webb's room is that it reminds me to lift up a prayer for you whenever I am in it -- what a beautiful gift you have given to all of us at Northside.
