Update

Okay, y'all, so I think of myself as forgiving and as someone who gives people the benefit of the doubt. To the point where my mother used to get angry at me for "taking back" friends in middle school/high school who had hurt me, because I always thought it wouldn't happen again

the heartlessness of some people's actions amazes me. i hope she miraculously someday DOES do the right thing. i'm pretty sure jesus would not want her to steal (your quilt and money) and crush your spirits so cruelly. i'm shocked that a jesus follower would not go to the ends of the earth to make this right. forget repentance or apologies, just to at the very least right their wrong. she'll have to answer for her actions to her jesus someday and i hope she rectifies things before that time, for her sake.

i'm not glad that you got hurt again, but i am glad that you have a soft heart in general, we need more people like that. it's just too bad that there are people who are clearly polar opposite that take advantage of that.

I think she was more making a jab at the fact that I believe in Jesus & try to do the right thing by the Lord.

I've just decided I have to stop hoping, I'm tired of having some small thing get me excited thinking this will actually be over and then having my dream of getting my quilt back crushed yet again. It's just heartbreaking, I don't understand how as a human being and a mother she can so blatantly not care about my feelings. I don't understand what it gains her to not give it back. I've never thought she was a bad person or deliberately being spiteful (which again, maybe makes me naive) but at this point I have to wonder what other reason there could be.

that's just awful. :(

Dear oddharmonic, since I am reasonably sure you're going to read these comments: Please, please, please, just mail it back. Lily's mother's death was painful enough. Please stop adding to it. I realize that your life has been really difficult of late; we get it, we all do, but you volunteered for a pretty big responsibility. Please live up to it and see it through. Perhaps you could look at it as a good-karma investment - it sounds like you could use it.

What sucks IMHO is it's NOT that big of a responsibility to *mail a blanket*. Especially when given money for it and much aid to do so over the years. I mean this is just flat out laziness. What kind of person has such pathetic follow through?

[babyinga]

I have no words other than I'm so sorry you got your hopes up only to have them slammed down again. :(

How dare she invoke the name of Jesus to justify her own lies... There's a quote in a DcTalk song (that's a quote form another source that I don't know) that goes "The single biggest cause of Atheism in the world today is Christians who acknowledge Christ with their mouths but deny Him with their lives."

oddharmonic, that's you.

Lily, I'm so sorry you're going through this. I know how crushed I would be if someone STOLE my wubby (that's what I called my quilt) and then tortured me over it. I wish there was something you could do to get it back.

This is what I would do. Even if it is just to scare her. I think you said you know her info, I understand you want to a good Christian. But dude.. get the @#$5

[admiringbog]

If you know a lawyer friend that would at least draft a letter to her to scare her a bit.

[lebonheurbum]

I would do that, too.

Have you tried looking her up on a site like spokeo.com? (Spokeo uses social media sites to gather it's info) I just searched her on there and there are lot of people by her name in TX, but only 2 in Dallas which is where she is according to her FB. One of the addressed even shows her profile pic, so I'd put that at the top of my list. I know you said you had an old address for her and I don't know if either of these are her, but it might be a good place to start if you plan to send a letter from a lawyer.
