To my children and other Loved Ones,
I thank God for shared time. Shuch sort, sweet moments are the
treasures we hold dear, as time slip away from us.
I thank God, that my mother cherished the time that she was able to
share with Loved ones. We as grandparents, have been blessed with similar
bonds of love and renewal.
These experiences do not diminish the love and pride that we have for
all the beautiful people that God chose to be a part of our lives.
I have come to realize that we each are a small remnant, sewn into
the crazy quilt we call 'Family'.
The pieces don't always match...and the stitches are not always
perfect, defining individuality, and sometimes they separate, and
become damaged...but, it is the "Thread of Love' that repairs, and forgiveness
that makes the Quilt stronger.
It is the comforter that warms us in the winters of our lives.
God be with us all,
Love Always,
Mom, 2009
