The View from the Edge

I thought I had better get my post up..  I do not want worry folks as I am worried.
This quilt has been basted forever..maybe 3 years.  Every time I ask my dear what can I do...in this hopeless situation, he whispers..."go sew"...He protects me even now and I think he likes the comfort of hearing the hum of the sewing machine so close by. 
 So, I do...I sew.  Finally free-motioned this quilt.  I am terrible at freemotion sewing.
But, as practice makes acceptable..Practice I am doing!!! The quilt still needs a binding..but here we are...a finish of some sort!
 The backing is IKEA and the show off...is Zoe..
Things are dreadful here..The intestinal muscles are shot..so he cannot have food into his peg tube.  His voice in unintelligible, his coughing is weak.  His mind is clear...but what is the use of that when you are paralyzed and have the rest of these issues..  Trying to be brave...Louise tells me that just being is a gift.  She may be right.  I think I will focus on that part.
I am going now to sit in the recliner by his bedside and take a snooze myself!!!
Thank you all for loving us.
