We've been considering finding her favorite picture and having it transfered to fabric and centering it so the picture is framed out. Remember you can also incorporate his old jeans. A lap quilt is also an option. Please remember that one that sleeps under a quilt is comforted with love. That feeling will never go away.
wow, thank you for that comforting thought! :) I didn't save any of his jeans, I thought they would be too hard to work with so those are all gone, sadly. I kept his sweatshirts, t shirts and hawaian shirts. there are other odds and ends in there and I should go through the bags again, but that is hard, so I know I'm not ready to cut just yet. I'm thinking more and more about doing that so hopefully soon and only work a little at a time on it so I don't get too sad during the process. It's so hard when you miss someone SO much!
