My Morgan received a pink fleece blanket as a gift when she was born.  She became very attached to it.  I thought I'd be smart and buy another to have when the original was being washed.  She always knew which was which and the original was always her favorite. It wasn't long till she was attached to both of them!

As some of you know, Morgan has spent some time in and out of the hospital with her kidneys.  Even at 11 years old those blankets still bring her comfort, especially for IV starts or uncomfortable procedures. 

Yesterday as I was having a really bad time with back to back hits, Morgan came into the living room with a small gift bag.  I opened it to find her pink blankets neatly folded inside.  Her words as she placed them on my shoulder were,  "These always help me."

My hope is that each of you have some pink blankies to help you through your toughest times.  This place is sort of a pink blanket, isn't it?

Jeannie

Wow.  I'm speechless.  And that takes some doing.  :'(

Love & Hugs,

Oh how sweet!!! Lisa has a yellow blankie that she still takes to the hospital with her when her asthma is bad. Don't ever lose those special pink blankies!! What a special little girl!

Charlotte

You're raising her right, Jeannie. What a sweetheart.

I seem to have developed a lump in my throat and a leak in my eyes....

How touching, thanks for sharing Jeannie...

Sending hugs for you and Morgan.

That right there is one helluva good kid.

Ummm  who blew smoke in my eyes...

Here's to all the pink blankies in our lives, no matter what color they be!

It’s not nice trying to make people cry at work, that was very touching. :'(
All I can say is someone raised that girl right.

Awww.....give Morgan a big hug from me.

Very sweet!

:)

Wow Jeannie...what a wonderful and heartwarming story...thanks for sharing!

Mine was a "green blankie"...and it always worked for me too...I REALLY miss it sometimes...but then...I DO have y'all...

Best,

Jon

What a lovely little girl!  Someone clearly parented her properly!  ;)

I really don't think I had anything to do with it.  It's just her nature. 

Aww, that's sweet! My 7 y/o chronic migraine sufferer received a handmade blanket for Christmas last year, and it's quickly become her sick blanket. She does wrap me up with it when I'm lying down and not feeling well.

There. Fixed it for ya.

She has a good heart, Jeannie.  That doesn't just show up all by itself.   :-*

Best wishes,

George

Wow, that brought tears to my eyes. Give her a hug from me!
