Bless you for sharing your gifts! We received a Linus blanket when my firstborn was seriously ill as a newborn. Everything in the pediatric ICU we were in was so sterile, hard surfaces, etc. It was comforting to have a soft, warm lovey to hold while he was separated from us during surgeries and tests. Now as a healthy 6 year old, this blanket is one of his favorites. It will always be special to us.
