AHHHHHH I hope he comes back to you as well... but why does he have to leave at all?

Becca Bear 10-19-2011 08:44 PM

What a heart warming story. This young man will cherish your quilt and I'm sure he will be back to thank you again for it. You are an angel to him!

Wonderful quilt! Hope you will have a life long relationship.

I did foster care for many many years and I understand how you can become attached. In my area we had something called permanent foster care. When my guy came to me at age 3, I peitioned for permanent foster care because he had special needs and I knew I couldn't care for him on my own. He's still with me at age 24! My son and daughter consider him their brother and their children call him uncle!

I love love love that quilt. It's beautious :thumbup:

Gorgeous quilt. I hope and pray "your" little man will do well in life. Beautiful story. I am sure he will treasure his quilt.

Snorky Lvs2Quilt 10-19-2011 09:24 PM

Awwww I have tears in my eyes. I hope and pray he comes back to you too. I am sure he will love his quilt and each time he snuggles under its warmth, he will always remember your arms around him. (((((((HUGS)))))))).

Exactly my thoughts. Crossing fingers for both of you!

What a sweet story. It sounds like your heart is breaking, again. I'm sorry for your loss, again. Clearly though you've (and he has) been rewarded with his return. You take care.

SueDor 10-20-2011 01:55 AM

I love the why you worked in ther wording!

Donna Mare 10-20-2011 01:55 AM

awwwwwwww how very sad.. he will love his gift..and I Hope he returns again!

Retired GI Jo 10-20-2011 02:03 AM

What a lovely quilt and a great story of love. Apparently, he loves you too, since he's had his bear all that time. If he doesn't get to come back before he becomes an adult, I'll bet he'll be back then! Kids always remember the ones who were good to them during a bad situation.

lallyann 10-20-2011 03:59 AM

beautiful quilt. Very sweet of you to help this child! Your gift will mean so much to him.

lurag 10-20-2011 04:00 AM

This is beautiful and a beautiful story and you made me cry. My parents had six of us kids and we had a foster sister and brother with us for some time. I think about them but have no idea what happen to them. What beautiful gifts you gave to that foster son, something from the heart. Thx for sharing. Lura

bamamama 10-20-2011 04:02 AM

Keeping the Elmo shows that you will always have a place in his heart! This world needs more people like you.

johnnietate1225 10-20-2011 04:04 AM

What a beautiful story, and beautiful quilt. So sad for these kids to get a happy home, only to be sent away again.

SewCraftyGirl 10-20-2011 04:09 AM

The quilt is wonderful and he will cherish it!

Rina 10-20-2011 04:50 AM

Oh Daysyboo, you definitely touched his heart (and mine) with what you did. We will pray that he comes back to you. It is a lovely quilt. The words says it all!

veryvirginia 10-20-2011 04:57 AM

Tangible love-a hug whenever and wherever he needs it. I would come back to you every chance I had. A quilt as beautiful as the heart of the maker.

Patchesnposies 10-20-2011 04:58 AM

What a heartfelt post. I hope he comes back to you. You so obviously love him unconditionally.

We were blessed to adopt our three foster babies (sib set of 3) and they have flourished with the stability of a home and family.

I am praying for you and for your foster son.

Love the quilt, it made me cry.

What a great gift to him. Don't worry, he'll remember and love the things you've done for him.
