help wanted...if you want. :)

About the time i started this blog, i realized i had neglected a lot of things that were key to helping me heal.  key.

one major thing was talking to other people who have been through something similar to me.  i had a lot of friends or friends of friends contact me and i did not respond at all.  for some reason i found it awkward.  maybe i was tired of being vulnerable.  i don't know.

anyway, a good friend of mine put me in touch with her friend just last week.  she is the first person i've talked to over email that understands.  she had a baby just a week before i had Lily, last year.

she told me that the hospital gave her a little blanket that was a piece of material with an unfinished edge.  she cherishes it.  

i absolutely love this blanket that some, wonderful person made for the me to swaddle Lily in.  i didn't realize i had it so good.  -it is so beautiful and soft.

one thing that i've wanted to do for the last year is make blankets and give them to the hospital for Angle Babies.  this new friend of mine reminded me of that.

as i've thought about it, i think it will be a really hard and wonderful thing to do at the same time.  i've decided to make and take as many blankets as i can before the 15th of August to the hospital.

this way i can personally walk the same halls i walked a year ago and thank those that helped me and gave so much at the same time. (the nurses)

i already cry at the thought, but i think it will be good.

where you come in.  if you would like to make a blanket or donate yarn or material.  i would really appreciate it.  this is super short notice.

a blanket is a wonderful thing to take home from the hospital.  among many other things, it is a symbol of comfort.  

i loved this blanket when it was given to me in the hospital but it is a treasure now.

THE MEASUREMENTS FOR THIS BLANKET ARE: 15 IN. X 15 IN.  Anything close is great!

if you are interested in helping, leave a comment, email or call.  if you live somewhat close, i'll come pick your donation up.  if you don't, i'll send you my address.

after all that has been given to me or done for me, i want to start giving back.  -this is another key thing that i've been neglecting. -giving back.  its about time i think. :)

thanks.  oh and if this deadline just won't work, make them at your leisure.  this is something i will do every year as part of celebrating and remembering Lily.

I NEED TO CLARIFY...ANY KIND OF BLANKET WOULD BE WONDERFUL!!!  THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
