So sorry for the troubles your son is facing. I agree with everyone else and as you have done - put the quilt aside and work on something else until there is a final decision. One thing you could reccommend, if you feel comfortable doing so, is suggest to your son that he watch the movie Fireproof. It is GREAT! I have seen it 2 times and a big group at our church is getting ready to start the Fireproof your marriage (Love/Dare) sessions. After 17 years, my DH and I are fine ~ but this will just re-enforce our marraige for rough times.

I agree with everyone else, Just put it away. If the marriage works out, then finish the quilt for them. if not, finish it and maybe give it to a charity to auction. I pray that your sons marriage will work out.

Reading some of the posts it breaks my heart when I read about the wives who leave their husbands when they are in iraq. My niece's husband just left to go to irag and they have 2 small children.My niece pitched a fit that he would be gone for a year. My sister reminds her time and time again. That she had to know being a military wife is not all easy.And that it is her duty to keep the homefires burning.

So sorry for the pain your family will be going through .

Sorry to hear this. I would put it away until a later day.

I agree that putting it away for a while is a good idea. So sorry for the pain you and your family are going through.

Put the quilt away for now.

If you have any spare scraps, you might want to mutilate them, tho.

Seriously, the suggestions for praying while working were good ones.

Never quite know what to ask for - so I usually settle for "Please - the best possible outcome for all concerned"

It's a tough situation.

I don't have a son. (Only a daughter) but I am not quite sure why no one here would still make the quilt and give it to the son!!? What am I missing?
