A week ago today, I was having a very hard day. I could not motivate myself to do much of anything. I was reading the posts on the forum almost all day when I saw a Private Message pop up. I wondered who it could be. A forum member said she had something she wanted to send me. That she had been waiting on the perfect person to send it to. Her message brightened my day. Yesterday I received a big box of wonderful fabrics, quilting books and a ruler.

What that sweet member didn't know, when she sent that message, was it was the anniversary of my precious 22 year old grandsons death. He had died at my home when he came for a visit. It is always a bad day of flashbacks, tears and heartache.

Random acts of kindness aren't random at all. They happen for a reason and bring wonderful people into your life.

Thank you Jada, from the bottom of my heart.

Oh, Fay, I am so sorry about your grandson. Heartbreaking to read. What a wonderful angel you have :)
People really care, and you know it. HUGS

I think Jada was your Angel Unaware. Helen Steiner Rice had a poem out yyyyyyyyyears ago about people who come into our lives. I really think that is true. Sometimes it hits us at a low time and maybe sometimes we walk right on past and miss out on helping or meeting an angel. Blessings, Jackie

Aw, what a nice think to do!!!!!!!!!

What a nice thing to do! And now you can plan what you are going to make!

So sorry about your grandson.Glad there was something to brighten your day.

Fay so sorry to hear about your grandson. God knew that you needed a hug so he sent you Jada. Here are more from Mo.{{{{hugs}}}}

My gosh, beautiful things happen to and by beautiful people. So sorry for your loss.

I am so sorry to here about your Grandson..... Yes, I agree these things happen because the Good Lord send's one of his many angels here on earth to do a wonderful thing for a loving wonderful child of his. Bless those little Angels when we need them they are there!

My heart aches for you in the loss of your grandson. We also lost a grandson a year ago. He was 27 and the father of four young children. You do have a special angel and I am so glad she reached out to you that day.

Thank you for sharing your heart with us. Sharing is healing. I can not imagine what it must have been like for you and the other members of the family. You are an amazing person to have taken the steps in your path. My heart breaks for you and at the same time I am glad you have been able to continue moving forward.

First I am so very sorry about the loss of your DGS. I cannot imagine what you have & are going through. Isn't it amazing at the good, kind & caring people in the world? And I believe Quilters are amongst the best.
Second I am thankful that you were blessed with such a sweet Angel when you needed uplifted. You both are very special people and I wish you nothing but the best!

I battle depression from time to time. I stumbled upon this quote that gets me moving when the depression tries to shut me down: The great thing in the world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving. If I can move forward doing something for someone, my depression tends to lift some. So I try to live by this. You have a loss though and you & I are different. Again, I am so terribly sorry about the loss of your Grandson. God Bless You! And your Angel.
