Thank you for all your comments and emails.  I have decided to give Kristine and Arthur a print out of the post and the comments when I see them next week.  I am going to be in Boston for about 12 hours and thankfully will be able to see them for a few of those.

I have been planning a care package to send to them or to give when I see them in person.  So far I plan to include some yummy homemade granola, some laminated pictures of N and Sophia for N to have, a crown for Neala (from this book), and something knitted.  I had some trouble with this last one.  My plan was to knit something for the baby after it arrived.  I was thinking one of these cute Baby Surprise Kits from Blue Moon would work.  I still may do that as a therapeutic process and then just put it away for safekeeping.  I’m not sure if that will help or not.  I have to think on it some more.

In the meantime, as a knitter I show love, compassion, and caring through my craft.  I typically only knit for family and close friends.  And when I do that I am very cognizant of the recipient as I knit for them, stitching in hopes, dreams, kind thoughts, and power.  I have talked of the power of handknits and my feelings on it before.  What to knit for a care package of this nature?  I was clicking through Ravelry and came across this pattern for little hearts.  I’ll start knitting today and see how many I can get done before I leave next week.  How nice would it be to give a box filled with hearts?  Wish me luck!

PS - if you have any other suggestions of things to include let me know…my brain is a bit mushy still.
