Amber,

I'm sorry I haven't checked in but am so happy your box of hugs arrived.  I am always amazed that they seem to arrive on a day that they are needed.

Wrap yourself in our hugs and love. 

Always in my prayers,

Liz

Hi, Ladies.  I'd like to nominate someone to receive an afghan.  Who do I send the name and contact information to?  Also, who needs squares?

Odalys, you can PM Liz or I with an afghan name.

Thanks 

Hi girls,

Laura..... thanks for the box. 

I have an afghan sewn together, just need to border it.  Madison, I will talk with you in a day or so about names.

Thanks to everyone for your help and contribution to this wonderful project.

Hugs

Beautiful Madison.......  I'll call you tonight about names.

Hugs to you all

Here is the one I'm mailing today.  Thanks again everyone!

Dearest, kindest, and most loving sisters,

I am in tears.  My husband and son woke me up from my nap (as Daniel says, I'm sleeping away my owwies).  They both said in a perplexed voice, "You got a package?"  

My son, being a standard 4 year old, began to dance around, yelling, "Maybe it's a TOY!!!" 

My husband opened it up, and pulled out the note.  I lifted out the tissue paper, and burst into tears. 

An Afghan!   Oh, sweet ladies, what a loving thing to receive in the mail.  

Things have been so rough, and were even worse when I had to go back to the hospital for another 6 days (my hubby was too overwhelmed to post an  update, he kept forgetting and screwing up my password). 

I feel every one of your loving hands covering me with hugs and love.   I am just so touched, honored, and blessed by each and every one of you.   Thank you so very VERY VERY much. 

I've always been aware of this project, but have no idea how to crochet or knit (I don't even know what it's called!), I am so grateful to have been a recipient. 

May God continue to bless this amazing project and outreach.  It has truly warmed my heart, soul, and spirit.  I feel stronger just knowing so many women have offered their love.  

Love and prayers, Deb

Oh Deb,  I'm crying happy tears.  I am so happy your box of hugs arrived.  It still amazes me that they arrive when they are most needed.  You know I as well as everyone here will be here for you. 

I remember our days in chat.  You've come a long way sweetie and will get through this one day at a time. 

Gentle hugs to you,

Liz

Deb - GAWD - I am truly choked up and shedding tears of joy - knowing that you recieved our gift of comfort! I can't tell you how much I feel for you and your little one and your big one too (dh). You three are always in my thoughts. Hugs to you! We are cheering you on girl! We will help you through this! HUGS, HUGS, HUGS!

Dearest sisters,

I will have Greg take a pic today and will post it!  I LOVE it.  It is beautiful, and overwhelming to know that many loving hands made it. 

Dear friends... this is from my aunt... she is only 5 years older than me and we grew up together...she was my maid of honor...thank you all



Mary Beth, Thank you so much for thinking of me and sending my name on to the group that makes the beautiful afgans. I was so surprised when a package arrived from Oklahoma. What a touching thing it is that these people have done for strangers...and to be included in such thoughtfulness really made my day. I am now off the IV antibiotics and most of the other drugs and feel alot better. I just got the okay to lift ten pounds which will make things around here seem a little more normal. There are a few more trips to Buffalo but not for a few weeks. Meanwhile we will begin to deal with this adrenal gland problem which we are hoping will be an easy. Love to all the family, especially to granddaughters. Love, Gail
