Mother’s Day is going to be a difficult day after losing my son Max last year. So I thought I would do my best to make it a positive day. 

I will be making as many octopuses for preemies as I can in one day. 

These little octopuses make babies, and their parents feel calmer and safer. The babies play with their tentacles as if it is their mother’s umbilical cord. At the same time, parents can have the deserved little break, knowing their tiny precious ones feel more safe and calm with the tentacles in their little hands instead of pulling those life-saving tubes and cables out.
