Inspired Gift


My mom made me this quilt and it’s definitely one of my most cherished processions. It’s not perfect or made of expensive material but it is special. After many hours of hard work, she finished it, 3 months before she passed away. I love this quilt because every time I see it I’m reminding of the love my mom had for me. Whenever I need to feel close to her I wrap myself in it. I believe my mom was inspired to make this blanket for me. Heavenly Father knew that I would need it.
This quilt has wiped away many tears, warmed up my heart and provided me with so much comfort. This quilt keeps me warm in the winter and eases my hurt heart in the spring.

  3. I love that your mom made you that quilt! I am sure she was inspired to do so. It was one of those tender mercies I am just sure of it. It is beautiful! A neighbor made me a blanket when Maxwell passed away. It is one of my most favorite things in my home. I too snuggle with it year round and like you it has wiped many tears away.

  4. Arika, your mom did work hard on that quilt just for you. You meant so much to her. You have many of her attributes. You are a very special young lady and Uncle Steve and I are very proud of you.
