How OMYGOD came to be
OMYGOD was born out of a real need at home.
The idea came from my eldest daughter, Olivia. She was 5 years old and would spend her nights with fears. One day she asked me for something that left me stunned:
"Mom, if I had a Virgin Mary plushie, I would hug Her and wouldn't wake you up..."
I thought this could only come from God.
And so we started to draw her, to create her, with what Olivia was suggesting to us. She had to be very sweet and very beautiful and had to give us love, joy, and peace. It has taken us almost three years to have her; it hasn't been easy, but we had to make her!
Since my girls have Mary, they sleep so peacefully. If they wake up someday and come with fear, we tell them that the Virgin is with them, and they go back to bed completely confident.
They also take her to school, to the park, to the doctor, when traveling... Everywhere they go with Her.
It's so touching to see the older children hugging the little Virgin.
It comforts the sick to have her by their side.
