My lovely niece, Alexis, age 38, died Saturday just past midnight of an agressive ovarian cancer., a mere 15 months past diagnosis.
We miss her so. Thank you Hospice. Alexis was the face of great bravery, as is her mother. xoxoxoxo
The God thing was sent via my sister who never asks for help. She asked our Stasi to order her a sandwich from Door Dash
The delivery man was 30 min late. He apologized for the cold sandwich, saying his father was new to this and became lost.
My sister said that that was nothing as her daughter was dying in the next room.
Thirty minutes later the man came back with his teenage son. They brought flowers and a gift card.
A complete stranger showing us all that there is kindness in the world after all.
Above are my hearts made of scraps. I ironed them onto fusible fleece. I quilted them and cut the hearts with my electric Accucutter (one of the nicest treats I have ever recieved from myself)!!
In my grief for Alexis, I am keeping busy by doing the same thing with some green scraps.. I have a Shamrock die as well.
Nothing like creating to soothe the soul. `
Meantime, in Portland, Oregon, our Aoife makes a snow angel and enjoys winter.
A lovely
homemade card from Linda Swanekamp...Joy!!!!
AND, today....Happy 16th birthday to our wild and wonderful Lynsey xoxoxoox
With all life's sorrows, there is still much to be grateful for.
Love abounds.
