“I want to give Love From Hetty & Dave to my boyfriend, Eric, because he is the only person who has always been there for me from the day we met. Before we were even good friends he stuck up for me while mean classmates talked bad about me. When my parents kicked me out and all my "friends" didn't seem to have a couch i could crash on for the night he moved me into his house. While our mutual friends decided they didn't like me anymore, instead of leaving me to keep most all of his high school friends, he completely stopped talking to them because he said I meant the world to him and he didn't want to do anything to mess us up. The last year has been a big change for us, going from having a group of friends we were constantly surrounded by, to spending most o our time at our house with our dog. From it all though, we have just feel more in love. I can't imagine spending my lie with anyone else.”
“I want to give Love From Hetty & Dave to my love Angelo. He's just a little Phillipino guy but he has a big heart. He recentely broke up with me for another girl, but came back to me because he said he loves me too much. We're both really young and it makes me want to yell at all of those sex-ed teachers that tell us it's just "infatuation". He got me to stop my habit of cutting, because he really cares about me and I've been looking for the perfect way to apologize for bringing him down, and I think that this may be it.”

“I want to give love from hetty and dave to anyone and everyone who needs it most.
Our world is so full of hate and anger and sadness, and thats what everyone focuses on. I'd like to help people see the goodness and love and kindness in people. The endless possibilities of human's kindness and love for other people. The hope and the dreams and the desperation to make the world a better place are NOT uncommon things.
People may do bad things, but noone can really understand how wonderfully kind and beautiful a PERSON can be, even if people arn't.
And I want people to know that. I want this world to live in love and hope and happiness, not matter how corny or afternoon special it is.
The darkness helps us see the stars, but we need to adjust our focus to see them in their full brightness. ”

“I want to give Love from Hetty & Dave to my grandmother, Annie. She's 69 and always finds ways to make a joke about it. She has the most wicked sense of humour, and my teenage friends even think she is the bee's knees. She's taken care of me since I was little, and I adore her dearly. My older brother has a rare problem in his femur bone: he has a cyst and it breaks often. 5 times to be exact. And he's had 9 bone marrow transplants. Throughout the 3+ years he was in the hospital, she took care of me when no one else wanted to. This Christmas, she treated me with lovely presents, but myself, being the poor student that I am- couldn't afford much more than a coffee and a donut. I think she knew that I couldn't afford more, and even though it was just a small luch-out, she pretended that it was the best boston-creme she's ever had. So if was to give her a Love From Hetty & Dave brooch, I might feel like I'm giving something back to my fabulous, adorable, incredible, 69 year old grandmother, Annie. ”
