This mum was left utterly speechless after receiving a sentimental gift from her brother. 

Lisa Ely was gifted a drawing that reunites her three children, including her late daughter, Mackenzie, who sadly died just a few weeks after being born. 

The 38-year-old from Bedford, Bedfordshire, UK, was never able to have a picture of all three of her children together, as younger siblings, Laci and Taite were born after their sister.

The mum of three broke down into tears when she received the drawing, overwhelmed to finally have a picture of her family, complete. 

Her brother had commissioned an artist to create the portrait as a wedding present to her. 

She said: “My brother brought me a painting of me and my two children and had my daughter put into it.”

She explains: “Mackenzie passed away before Laci and Taite were born, so this is so special, and my reaction says it all. Two in my arms, one in my heart.

“She never got the chance to meet her brother and sister, so this is unique. Such a special moment.
