I have just $1200 left to pay on one of my credit card bills. I recently moved the majority of the balance to a different card that won’t collect balance until next July. The rest of the balance is collecting interest, however, making it nearly impossible to pay it all off. I need only sell this quilt and the balance will be at zero. There’ll be nothing left to pay. My stress and anxiety will drop dramatically.
Stress and anxiety take a heavy toll on my epilepsy, lowering the already very low seizure threshold. This means my seizures are more easily triggered. It also messes with my mental illnesses, especially my severe general anxiety disorder and PTSD.
My husband’s father was put in a coma last week. He’d been mugged and beaten to within an inch of his life, suffered a severe concussion, bleeding swelling on his brain, and internal bleeding. Today he was taken off his breathing machine because he’s finally able to breath on his own.
We haven’t been able to see him due to his location. We live in Oregon, his father lives in Texas. The doctors have asked my husband if he’ll be coming to see his father. They believe seeing a familiar face will help him recover. He’s becoming more aware and lucid, but it’s very slow.
I need this quilt to sell so I can pay off the card and purchase a plane ticket for my husband to visit his father. We hope his father will live, but he had suffered a severe brain injury about 20 years ago and a good portion of his skull is re-constructed with plastic and metal. It’s one of the reasons why he’s been in a coma.
Please consider purchasing this so my husband can see his father. Thank you.
Please boost this post… You never know who may be interested in purchasing this or one of her other quilts
I pity her daughter for the misfortune of being born to this piece of absolute shit.
okay but you should really read the full response to this though:
I am having a hard time wrapping my mind around this letter. I encourage you to reread it and to ask yourself that time-honored question, “Do I sound like a villain in a Reese Witherspoon movie?” You are, presumably, sympathetic to your own situation and are invested in making sure that you come across as reasonable and as caring as possible, and yet you have written a letter indicting yourself at every turn. This girl is “like a daughter” to you, and yet you want to shove her to the side of your other daughter’s wedding just because she walks with a limp. Your daughter’s wedding will be perfect with Katie as a full and honored member of the bridal party. A limp is not a fly in the ointment; it’s a part of Katie’s life. It is not only wrong to have asked your daughter to consider excluding her best friend over this—it is ableist, and cruel, and it speaks to a massive failure of empathy, compassion, and grace on your part. You must and should apologize to your daughter immediately, and I encourage you to profoundly reconsider the orientation of your heart.
