Your post brought tears to my eyes. My mother is suffering from Alzheimer's as well as rheumatoid arthritis and a heart condition. She is suffering so much. I can't imagine life without her although I am preparing for the inevitable. You have made such a beautiful keepsake of you mother. The pillow is beautiful as is your mother. A treasure for sure! Hope the great memories will carry you through the pain of no longer having her physically with you although I am certain she is with you and your dad in spirit. {{quilty hugs}}
