Dear Deb that works at JOANN Fabric and Craft Stores in Mooresville NC,
You didn’t know that I had spent all morning consoling my oldest son when he was crying asking if his baby brother would be home from the hospital for Christmas. You didn’t know that’s why we were there looking for Christmas fabric. That I had explained to my oldest that all we could do was pray for his baby brother and if it helped him feel better, we would pick out some things to decorate brother’s isolette for Christmas. When you smiled and asked “can I help you”? you didn’t know that I was on verge of tears myself asking how I could make the material into a blanket for my baby even though I have no clue how to sew and no sewing machine… and how I spend 5-6hrs a day at the NICU in Charlotte and that’s where we were headed as soon as we left. You just smiled sweetly and asked when I needed it to be finished. Then you told me you could make it into the blanket it for me and to leave the material with you after I purchased it. Thank you Deb. Thank you for that act of kindness and for showing my oldest son how to be a kind and compassionate person. He talked about you the whole drive to Charlotte after we left you… and then he told his baby brother all about you when we got there. I hope everyone sees this and knows what a kind caring heart you have. (This pic was actually taken by a friend of hers after she read our story today and told Deb)
