I FOUND THE SWEATER KNITTED FOR MY GRANDCHILD IN A DONATION DRIVE My name is Sarah. I'm 73 years old, and nothing brings me more joy than making something special for my granddaughter... Every Christmas, I sit by the fire, knitting sweaters just for her — each one unique, stitched with love. I thought she cherished them… until that day. I was helping with a pile of donated items at the thrift store, a small tradition I've kept to spread kindness during the holidays. As I sorted through the racks, my heart suddenly dropped. There it was — the sweater...The one I'd spent hours knitting, pouring my love into every stitch. The initials embroidered on it were unmistakable. I reached out, my fingers trembling as I touched it. My chest tightened, but I forced myself to smile and whisper, "It's okay. Maybe they're embarrassed to wear grandma's sweaters." But it wasn't okay. Inside, my heart was breaking.That evening, I couldn't let it go. I packed the last "special gift" I'd made and drove straight to my son's house.👇
