Thank you so much for your reply dear Nanamoms. Love your Avitar. I have made and homes have been found for 115 of these dolls. They do come with a birth certificate and story plus a tag for boys leg and girls dress. Most go to a child with cancer. I have only 34% of my lungs because of COPD and yesterday spent 4 hours in E.R. because of a 'flare-up' maybe caused by a cold I'd caught. I am able with O2 to be up and about as a general rule, but limited. These dolls I can do on my old cheapy machines, so I am glad to do it, while I can. My new goal is to reach a minimum of 200 this year or first part of the next year. I know I've got to eventually clear out my cupboards of the wealth of fabrics sent from all over the USA, as the floating fibers of lots of sewing is hard on the lungs, especially the stuffing. When these dolls are finished, I may have to call on someone to pick up the ministry and get these dolls out to sick kids for me. Maybe someone local, in case they want the left over fabrics I'd want to send so they can keep the dolls free. We can only take life one day at a time, and ask no more. I lay in bed last night and while trying to fall asleep, asked the Lord if HE had more words for me to write, and into my mind came the story of THE DOLL. I'm glad you liked it. HUGS to you and yours.

The part about the doll absorbing her tears and wouldn't mind just got to my heart. Little ones are so brave and have the most wonderful outlook on life. We adults could stand a reminder of their innocence of life.
