Before we put my dad in a home, I had to stay with him for a while (he lived in a different town) and I brought enough work to keep me busy. I put up shop in his dining room. He loved it. He would admire everything I made. I could work when I wanted and spend all the time with him when I needed to. It was the perfect arrangement. He has since died, but I remember that time fondly. I couldn't have stayed with him as long as I did without something to do. I'm so glad for quilting!
And you are wonderful for spending time with your family...showing support! That's what family is all about!!
