Some days, he just can't make his body and brain activity the way they should. But he is sweet under it all, and I just love him. I was out of school for a few weeks this winter, taking care of first my mom then my daughter in the hospital. This sweet little guy asks me every so often how they're doing, and the genuine concern in his eyes makes me teary every time. He hugs me every day and checks to be sure he'll see me tomorrow. He melts my heart. In his own way, he understands that kindness matters. <br /><br />This little city pouch is adorable!!Sew Much For Free Timehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05752519140772364873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1137238438362331675.post-78217491301313374402017-04-10T18:44:54.600-05:002017-04-10T18:44:54.600-05:00Awww, Carole, what a sweet story!

Let's hope so. :-) (My story is this - I was in line at the grocery store with a two dollar item in hand. I smiled at the young man in front of me. He had a large order on the counter, but I was in no rush and happily waited my turn. When his order was tallied he told the cashier to add my item to his bill. I had the money in my hand, so objected and showed him that I was prepared to pay, but he kindly and firmly insisted that it was on him. Next thing I knew, it was done! I was so touched that he would do such a thing, and it certainly brightened my day! :-) )<br />Carole @ Fresh off the Framehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17022547397680969012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1137238438362331675.post-71959984753124606562017-04-07T21:20:42.100-05:002017-04-07T21:20:42.100-05:00There are certainly more nice people than nasty.

I think that we are often reluctant to send things we've made to other people that craft, but I think they appreciate them most of all because they know how much time and work went into them.
