I made my mother a quilt and she loved it. When she died in May, I had it sent with her when she was cremated. I know it didn't mean anything to her at that time, but it sure meant something to me. Her birthday is coming up in October and I am not looking forward to it. One sister is in Kaui, the other is in Georgia, and I am in Indiana. Sure wish we could get together for her birthday. Not possible though. Make that quilt, whatever you have to do. Let her enjoy it now and it will bless you tremendously.
