Two weeks before Christmas, we took 2, 18 yo high school seniors into our family. They were in an abusive situation and living in a totally disfunctional household. Both were failing miserably in school. One had a grade of 14 in one of their classes. Now, two months later, we have 2 (although there is a ways to go with them) teenagers that are approaching adulthood with a much better outlook and the attitudes have improved. The grades of one have improved to being on the honor roll (was failing 2 classes and had low grades in the others). The other now has no failing grades and is improving each week. (was failing almost all on the classes). It is very difficult adjusting to the situation on both sides. However, love and guidance seems to be the way to go. It is very unfortunate that many of todays parents (?) have chosen to let the grandparents take over and fill the place where they have failed. Thank GOD your brother and his wife are willing to take this young man into their home and their hearts. The rewards are many. We will keep them all in our prayers. I am sure he will love this beautiful but "manly" quilt.
