Sweet, sweet, sweet!

What a wonderful, loving son!

Thank you for such a sweet story and tell your son thank you.

You succeeded in doing one of the best things in life. It is not about the quilt. You did a good job in raising your son reflecting on what he did!

What a sweet story from a loving son. Please give him a hug and a big THANK YOU for serving our country.

What a great memory, so mature in his thinking. I wouldn't let him take the quilt to boot camp, they take most of the belongings and only give you govt issue. please wait until after graduation. Maybe make him a tiny square to keep with him.

Best son ever, sounds right.

I too have tears! Thanks for sharing a great story and prayers going out for son's safety!

Boy, it can't get any better than that. You should be a proud Mama.

I am a little bit in awe for what a wonderful and supportive community this is, and that so many have taken the time to send warm wishes and happy thoughts our way. It is much appreciated!

Thanks for the advice. He was here to spend the afternoon with me before going to boot camp, and left the quilt at his house. He served nine years in the Navy already, and is now starting a new adventure in the Army.
