From celebrations, to having it by a bedside in case of a nightmare or when one of us had a stomach bug, this bell was put to good use. There were four children in our family and we often joked about which one of us would inherit this highly coveted bell. That was no longer a question when it was lost in a house fire. As adults, we all found bells of our own.And the traditions continued.My hope is that other families will begin traditions of their own that include The Blessing Bell.*The Blessing Bell companion storybook is now available on Amazon at http://amzn.to/28vGDCf or theblessingbell.com
