In 2002 Joanne Mohally from Limerick experienced one of the world's greatest joys and sadnesses at the same time. Joanne had been carrying twin babies, but when the time came to welcome her children to the world, only one made it. Colm was born healthy and happy, but his twin brother Rory sadly arrived stillborn.
In advance of the birth, Joanne had purchased two identical teddies for her boys. She tells us; "For the last 11 years my son Colm has gone to bed with his teddy. Over the years the teddy had become very worn. Late last year I got in contact with a girl who makes teddies from old materials and asked her if she could do repair work. The job she did on my son's teddy is priceless."
That woman is Sarah Fitzgerald, of
Made With Love Bears. Sarah found herself moved by the request, and created a little video of the journey to bring Teddy Mohally back to life.
