Her sister had made them for her and they had sentimental value. Heather and her 2 daughters have been going through hard times because of divorce and being displaced from their home because of a major plumbing issue. The mittens just made her feel better. She and her daughters put up posters to find them. Well, the mittens have been found! Heather says that someone called her last night and plans to give them back today.
