    You did a wonderful thing for this young man. Your act of kindness was definitely in the spirit of Christmas. That quilt and pillows are just beautiful. The pictures are upside down so it's hard for me to read the label but the blocks in the quilt are great

    We are blessed because you have blessed one of God's children. There are no coincidences just opportunities to serve. Your story is beautiful and you are also for sharing your God-given talent with a lad who needed to be lifted. Thank you.

    Thank you so much for sharing this story with us, the beautiful quilt and the 'extras'. You have done a wonderful thing for this man, at what we can only imagine is a very dark time for him. Seems some people in the world disregard the fact kindness and love are such important things to keep hold of. Sometimes when I get up in the morning and turn on the radio to listen to the news, I fear these things are lost.....then I stop by here and realise there are people here who haven't forgotten. Quilts are tangible proof of love, kindness, beauty and warmth.....and those that create them keep this alive. Bravo!

    What an angel you were, a middle person of sorts, to finish the work of mom to son. Beautiful story and gesture.
