I'm a youngster of 77 and love quilting. I'm with you, I lost my own DH nearly 4 years ago and it still seems like last week.
Quilting and volunteering keep me busy, and in between finishing a robot lap robe for my daughter's second grade class in Texas, I'm making curtains for my kitchen and painting the small bathroom. I decided I hated it a few weeks ago but haven't decided what color, that will happen when I go look at the paint samples.
Keep busy, time will soften your grief, but you just can't forget
all those busy years with your love. If you want to chat, PM me any time, I'm on the computer far too much, and on this forum WAY too much but it's addicting.
