When the unthinkable happens to a member or members of your family, it can seem like there is nothing but evil left in this world. Receiving a blanket for some can be seen not as a reminder of the horrific event, but as tangible proof that there is still good in this world. That someone would give to you a stranger, something that they created in the hope it will help to give you peace and comfort when your world has completely changed in a moment. In the giving the giver can feel like they did something for someone else who is suffering, instead of saying how terrible it is. I'm thankful that so many quilters can find it in their hearts to provide quilts for so many who are hurting in our country; our vets, kids, tornado and hurricane victims to name a few.
