Your heart was in the right place making the quilt for your brother - and it continues to be in the right place - you are a very sweet, compassionate person, I can tell. I wish you all the blessings and strength in the days ahead. My father passed away on November 14, 2011, and it was very, very difficult - he was sick a long time and in the end it was awful. I still struggle but with lots of prayers, support and encouragement from friends and family, it sure helps. Your quilt is beautiful and will be a heirloom.
