    What a touching story. It would have been so easy to give him a gift certificate or trinket, but you gave him something from your heart. And what a wonderful boy. He realized what a special gift it is.

    This letter makes up for the ones where the quilt wasn't appreciated! Thanks for being so kind to him....he will never forget it.

    Absolutely wonderful story. I am so very glad you got that type of reaction and from a 17yr old is even more precious. :thumbup:

    You are so wonderful! What a beautiful story and yet a little sad- imagine being so young and knowing how wonderful your gift is! This poor young man has had to go through an awful lot to be so mature! You are his greatest gift it sounds- big hugs to both of you!

    What a beautiful story. That is a great honor to get that answer from a young man , some never get that even from a older adult. What a blessing that must of been to you. Makes it so easy to give quilts away when you are blessed like you were by the young man.

    That is awesome. Sometimes these kids just need to know that someone else cares. Hugs to you for caring.
