i am in the process of putting a comfortghan together for my hubbys cousins hubby (what a mouth full) he was wounded last month in mosul , one of his men was killed, i have started this over at the ville but if anyone here wants to help that would be great too, i need squares fast as he is not going to be here long, they are talking about shipping him back to walter reed, like thats going to be a better place then where he has family and friends to help him don't get me started grrrr anyways if any of you would lke to help also i will make sure and put all the names on it for him am looking for 8 in bright colored squares any pattern if you can edge them in white would be very helpful also if anyone wants to send him cards i will collect them and give them to him with the afghan. if you don't feel comfortable helping make this as its at the ville too i understand but i can assure you its not about where itsmade its about how and why its made and he will love it from anywhere. thanks for all who read this and if you want to help pm me and let me know thanks sooooooooooo much my dear friends

Vicki, I would really like to help you out but I can't right now. I thought I would do a lot of crocheting and being online during this broken leg thing but I thought wrong. I'm on pain meds and as I sit here trying to crochet or read posts I end up dozing off. I'm so frustrated that my life is on hold yet again but I'm choosing to trust God on this one and just be patient. Please know that my heart is with you on this comfortghan.  |

thanks soo much all of you, gina honey please don't worry about it, you need to heal sweetiem i will tell richard that you wanted to help but since you can't physically you are mentaly and send him prayers for recovery, i told him he is getting a suprise and he is in awe that so many people whom he has never met are making him a suprise(he don;t know what it is yet hehe)if anyone needs my addy please pm me and i will give it to you. thanks again my dear friends and fellow maniacs for helping. i have several on the ville helping too so should be able to do this in a short period of time. will only take me a few hours to put it together so he won't have to worry about leaving before he gets it
i can not believe they are sending him back so soon, he can;'t even eat yet since his jaw is wired shut, thats just wrong in my opinion
thanks again all of you

I don't know how I missed this. I will send a couple.
I am sorry to hear of his injuries and the loss of his fellow soldiers.
I will hurry to get them out to you. |
