whm I wish you peace in knowing your father is with you still.. close your eyes he will always be right there.. I lost mine at 18 and I think it never gets easier. It just becomes something we are forced to accept. I am sorry your all feeling the pain of loss. I do think it is so hard to lose a spouse.. we rely on them for so many little things just knowing they are there.. is comforting. Be patient with Mom she will surely feel it the hardest. I wish I did embroidery and would have offered but alas my machine does not do but simple stitches. I think also if you post in the wanted section here looking for someone.. you will find someone who will help you. YOu can try Elisabrats table runner swap (mine) and ask there are several who do embroidery.. and wont charge you ..
