I'm sad for your loss. I'm sorry to read about you losing your husband. I imagine everything in your house is a painful reminder. I hope each day gets easier for you.
We took my father's funeral flowers and bouquets to a nursing home the next day. It brought so many smiles and warmed our hearts. He would have like that, I think. If we had received quilts, we would have likely done the same thing. I think it's so fitting that comfort offered be shared.
