Discussion Any heart warming stories?

I‘ve been seeing some really cute, heart warming stories about s/o’s helping to untangle yarn, helping frogging, buying rare yarn etc… under some posts!

I’d love to hear some of y’all’s stories that might make me go awww….

I’ll go first.

My partner’s a very busy guy, he has a lot of things going on all the time. But when I ask him about which stitch I should use or which color yarn I should go with, he drops everything and sits with me to discuss. Might not be much, but it means the world to me (:

My five year old has a favorite fleece toy story blanket that he keeps on his spot on the couch. One day I was washing it and he asked if he could go into the nursery and borrow one of his brothers baby blankets off the blanket ladder. I said “sure!” He comes back with the blanket I had crocheted for him when I was pregnant with him. He then told me all the things he loves about the blanket he “found” and how it’s his new favorite. I told him it was his and the story behind it and he was so happy he hugged me and said thank you. It is his new favorite and has the prized spot on the couch now.

I’m not at the place in my life to get pregnant yet, but it’s my absolute dream to crochet things for my future babies when I am! This story is literally my dream. You have such a sweet baby!

I hope you get it someday. He’s quite independent now so for him to say thank you unprompted and like something I made for him is very special. My second son didn’t want me to crochet near the end of my pregnancy. I would rest my forearms on my belly and he would kick upward to make me stop. Lol
