meet such wonderful people and have the chance to get to know each other and also gain alot of info about the embroidery world. We get alot of useful info and skills right here on "Cute" and some really great designs, that seem to get better and better! Happy Mom's Day to you Veronika and to all of you that have children in your lives, no matter their ages.

I would also like to take this time to give a great big THANKS to Deanna for the wonderful work and love that she shares with the misplaced children that she has taken into her home and her heart. Each one that comes into her life, brings some love but the bad part is that almost all of them come with an extra set of problems that they are having to deal with alone, until they reach the loving care that she gives them. I can think of alot of adjectives to describe the situation but one of them IS NOT easy. Thanks, Deanna, for caring and giving of yourself. You need a very special award for sharing your heart and your home with these lost but not forgotten children and young adults!!!!!!!!
From my heart to your heart, I appreciate what you are doing more than you can ever know. My Mom was raised in Appleton Church Home in Macon, Ga. from around 5 until she finished high school. It was the only home she ever knew and it is still open and running today. She also had 2 older sisters that were there for a very short time when she was very young. Only the Lord knows what would have become of her if she had not had someone to look after her and give her an education, food, clothes, and a stable background. She was not a troubled child, just lost and forgotten by her family. She was the next to the youngest of 8 children, when this happened with only 1 sister that was married. I can not even begin to imagine how terrified those children were when they were up and moved in different places. This church home for girls, gave my Mom a good life, for the times,(1925) and wonderful values to live by until her death at 66. Happy Mom's Day to all the Mom's out there. Hugs, Linda
