Thank you SO much for my hat (I got a Betty design)!! It is beautiful and I love the way it feels :) It's a white one and I really adore it! I can't wait until it cools off so I can wear it all the time (and honestly, I'm going to tell everybody all about it!) I've already told a bunch of friends about it and told them to buy one too! I think the best part was seeing that you signed your name on the inside of it; I really feel like I always have a part of you with me & it reminds me to pray for you and your family/child :)

You are such an inspiration and such a beautiful woman! I'll pray for you all the time and I hope that you're able to go to school and provide an education for your family. Good luck and thanks so much!

I am so grateful to you for taking the time to make it for me and I truly wish you the best in your endeavor to go back to school and provide a better future for yourself, your child, and your family. You are a very amazing selfless individual and I admire your strength. I hope to hear of your success in like in the near future.
