This is more than a good idea. For one, you’re wanting to put all your time, effort, and love into this project. For another he will be on the other side of the ocean and then some with no family. I don’t know the weather conditions there so don’t know if a blanket is something he’ll need to use, but I’m sure he will embrace that blanket every second he can. Those pictures will be one of the few things to put a smile on his face and heart. What a wonderful idea!
