I had a little guy come and live with me when he was 6, he stayed for a year almost to the day. He came back to me last March at the age of 12 and is now moving on to Kinship care. I love this little guy with all my heart and I am having a very difficult time letting him go. The first time he left I didn't know how to quilt so I took him to build a bear workshop where he chose to make Elmo. When he came back, he was only able to bring one thing with him and he came with a very well loved Elmo. I hope he loves this present just as much, and more than that I hope (please forgive me) that he comes back to me.

Wonderful quilt!!

The quilt is beautiful,and I hope he comes back to you too.

What a special gift for this young man. You did a beautiful job.

What a precious quilt that he will treasure. Love it. I hope he comes back to you, soon.

A very loving gift.

Sometimes I sure don't understand how "the system" works!!!

Love the quilt, love the story. He's a lucky little guy to have you in his life!

I hope it isn't a goodbye present, I'm sure in time he will come back........it's a lovely present by the way! :D

I hope he comes back to you too! Children need to be where they are loved and sometimes it seems that rules and regulations don't take that into consideration. I am sure he will treasure the quilt since you made it for him.

Beautiful quilt from a beautiful person, hope he comes back to you also

great quilt! it will be well-loved

Wow, touching story and a beautiful gift for him to hold you near to him. I sure hope he is able to get back with you soon!

Absolutely adorable. Love this quilt and I am sure he will too.

That is one beautiful quilt. I believe he will treasure it for ever and the love that you gave him and put into that quilt.

cute quilt

Love the quilt. Touching story.

This quilt will help him remember that you love him unconditionally, which is what he needs! Lovely quilt. It will be a loss for both of you that he must move again.

That is a beautiful quilt and a lovely sentiment.

Oh, man. I hope he comes back to you for good. Will you be able to maintain regular contact?

Such a lucky young man that has so much love from you. He's going to love and treasure his quilt and he'll be back with you maybe when he's older and out of foster care.

My heart aches for both of you. I have done foster care, so I feel some of your pain. The quilt is beautiful. I am sure he will feel your love through it as his life moves on. I pray he is going into a good situation, it seems to be a real gamble for these poor kids, even when it is family.
God be with you both.

I love the quilt. How sweet.

So very special, thank you for loving this precious little boy. He will never forget you. A beautiful quilt stitched with love. I hope you can always be a part of his life.

Wonderful story!! And, a wonderful quilt!! He is one lucky little guy to have someone as loving as you.

I am sure you have been very good to him. No matter where he goes you will always be in his heart. He will come back one day, even if he is then a grown man. Foster kids need more people like you. Oh. BTW, love the quilt and owls are my favourite birds. Thank you for sharing.

Oh DaisyBOo,
I am so sorry. What a lovely gift. Your heart is even lovelier!

I so agree with nanabirdmo, he will always hold you close.

Beautiful. You have a BIG heart!!!

Consider putting your phone number on a little tag on the quilt that way he will be able to call you anytime he may want to or NEED to. You never know he may know your phone number now, but he may forget it. Thats what I would do. Bless his little heart. I hope that he finds the love that he needs. God Bless the young man and God Bless you too for taking him into your heart and home as I am sure that you have made a difference in his life. :)

Hugs! It is so very hard to love them, then have to let them go. I think you made him a quilt he probably really needs. It will remind him every time he sees it and wraps up in it that he is loved no matter where he is.

That is a wonderful quilt! Your story touched my heart. What a beautiful gift you've given this child, to love him and show how much you care...

The love and the care that you gave this son show through and through in the finished quilt. You have made his life better.

I'm the foster mom of a almost 13 year old we've had him since he was 10. God save the person who try's to take him. Prayers are with you and him. He'll love the quilt.

You will both always be in each others heart I am sure. He is so lucky to have you.

Lucky boy knows someone who loves him very much! What a difference that can make for a child! Beautiful quilt. Hugs

he will be back some day you have showed him love and they never forget that.

I'm tearing up thinking about your heartache. Beautiful quilt. Best of luck to you all.

That's a wonderful gift for him. He can take your love with him & always remember there is someone who cares. I hope you get your wish and he can come back to you.

What a wonderful gift for him....great job!!!

A perfect and beautiful gift for this young man. He will always have your love with him and will return even if it takes time until he is an adult. Make sure you have your address and phone number on the quilt so he can always reach you. Hugs to you!
