But I did want to wish you a Happy Easter, and all the love and joy that assurance of the resurrection can bring.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02218009891182171803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6580898742645753422.post-72265407428808700892010-04-04T22:18:18.018-04:002010-04-04T22:18:18.018-04:00We know we will be reunited with loved ones that h...We know we will be reunited with loved ones that have gone on before us--without Resurrection Sunday--without Easter, we would not have this assurance. It is such a wonderful gift you are giving with your quilts. A renewal of pieces of cloth which hold precious memories for the people who receive your artistic gift. Spring has come--new life is on the land and I hope, a renewal of your spirit.Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03399435237919718544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6580898742645753422.post-68118899082667308932010-04-04T12:29:40.421-04:002010-04-04T12:29:40.421-04:00Happy Easter.

I was just thinking about how I'm in the same location I was last Easter yet I don't remember last Easter, which happened only weeks after Austin died. I don't remember driving 6 hours here and 6 hours home. I don't remember anything, and like you, my memory has only started getting a little more reliable again. Grief is so overwhelming and exhausting. <br /><br />I look forward to seeing my quilt, wrapping myself in it and letting the tears flow. Then, the smiles will come, as I remember the memories associated with each piece of fabric. Because my memories of him are still strong, it's the past year that has the sketchy memories. <br /><br />Your love is watching over you and is waiting for you. You will be reunited with him in heaven when it is your time. Thank you for blessing all of us with your creative talents and your friendship while you are waiting to be with your Dragon again. You are a blessing to all of out here in cyberspace.Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13743446066024389563noreply@blogger.com
