That is so sweet. This was actually my aunt through marriage, and although she and my uncle were divorced, they remained friends and even had weeky dates for lunch and sometimes went to the casinos. I made my uncle one of these quilts (turning twenty) when he himself went through breast cancer 4 years ago. Yup, men get breast cancer too. But he pulled through. I was actually able to fly out to see him and bring it to him myself, but with such short notice with my aunt...well I have alot of decisions on who should get this. Lots to think about. Thanks again for being so kind.
