This little red sweater was made with love by my grandmother. She gave it to me before I left for America. Besides keeping me warm during those chili days and nights, the little red sweater was a constant reminder of my dear grandmother. Unfortunately, I never returned to Vietnam before she passed away.
When the little red sweater did not fit me anymore, I put it in the bottom of my drawer. Many times, the little red sweater ended up in the Goodwill bag. However, I managed to rescue it, before Mom made her trip to Goodwill. When I graduated from college, the little red sweater came with me.

The little red sweater was tucked away in the back of my dresser for many years, until dear daughter was old enough to wear it. Dear daughter wore the little red sweater for a couple years. Today, the little red sweater is safely tucked away. If the Lord is willing, I will see my grandaughter wearing it in 26 years from now.
For a 36 year-old sweater, it is still in good condition. There is no rip nor hole. This little red sweater has become a family heirloom. I hope that as each generation wears it, her mom will tell the adventure of the little red sweater.

So now I crochet sweaters, hats, and blankets for all my grandkids, and she tucks them away. (She's pg with #6 so I'm pulling out the yarn once again).
Oh, BTW, I can't seem to figure out how to pull up that Homeschool Lounge graphic so I can put my picture into it. I can't copy it or save it or anything. Could you please tell me how you did it?
thanks.
because of Jesus, Bobbie
