A Wonderful and Glorious Hug!

I've participated in a few hugs. But when I read a message like yours Helen, I kick myself that I haven't participated in every single one of them! I hope your Hug continues to provide you comfort for a long, long time. Thank you for posting this reminder for those of us who have skipped making a block for whatever reason.....there really is no good reason for not contributing. I think you just prompted my first New Year's resolution. Thank you back! I can't wait to see the pictures!

Helen, we're glad the Hug has worked its magic and your heart is smiling again. I hope it continues to bring you comfort.

I have a few pics of the Hug and have posted them at

Beautiful........

Absolutely beautiful!!!

That's what Hugs are all about Helen, dear. To bring you the sharing affection of a large group of friends in one 'package'. So, on those hardest of days, you can snuggle with your Hug and gain strength from its combined power. Do keep in touch with us - even if it is just to lurk, so that you know you need never be alone - even in the middle of your night; someone here will be 'up' and awake with you. .

Thanks for letting us share the pictures Louise. It's very beautiful, and definitely heart-warming. . In message , Louise in Iowa writes

I'm so glad you love it! Waiting for pics...;-)

Helen, I was honored to be a part of your hug and knew that our love would wrap you in the feeling of how much we want to hug and comfort you. We can not be there in person moment-by-moment of pain and loss but we can give you something to hold you close and maybe, just a bit, carry your pain with you. God bless you. Polly

Receiving a hug quilt from rctq is one of the bestest things in life. Glad you have yours to help you thru the difficult times.

Helen - I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. I'm so glad that so many kind and wonderful people were able to put together a HUG for you.

Thinking of you,
