Thanks for sharing your story with me! Sometimes life just seems too hard and then when we look beyond that we can see a ray of sunshine. I do pray that you will be blessed for tackling the finishing the quilt when you see Darian and your Sis using it! {{{HUGS}}}
You've done an awesome job!

Sorry to hear about your brother. But what a wonderful way to remember him by finishing the quilt and giving it to a dear nephew who loved him. My sympathy to your family. Also, please give your sister a hug from me. I so admire grandparents that have to step in to raise their grandchildren. It is so hard, but has to be done. Thank goodness I had a daughter that stepped in when my son's son needed a home, I would have done it, but so much easier for a younger generation to do. May God bless you all.

You all are awesome. I really needed all of the comments. Emotional Healing is not always easy.

I am so sorry for your so many losses. I am glad your Aunt was able to enjoy it for a little while. May you find strength in their memories, and those memories keep them alive forever in your heart.

At least she received and appreciated the quilt. We will miss both of them very much.
