I understand your relief that her struggle is finally over, I felt much the same when my father passed away. I loved your story about the quilt you made for your mother-in-law - you will now have a remembrance of her that is very special. Thanks for all you have done and continue to do for AAQI, know that it is much appreciated. Sending hugs!

I lost my mother over and over and over again before she finally drew her last breath.<br /><br />AAQI began shortly after my mom's death - making quilts and supporting Ami's amazing efforts were a huge part of my healing process. I saw your Shattered in person when the exhibit opened at Nashville ~ powerful and heartbreaking. One quilt at a time, AAQI has made a real difference and I am grateful to have been a part of it.<br /><br />Sending blessings to you and your family as you move forward day by day into this new phase of your lives . . .<br /><br />Quiltdivajuliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15593385265961892847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5086827674284210312.post-64707876904868979292013-05-18T08:33:33.008-06:002013-05-18T08:33:33.008-06:00You piece Shattered shows beautifully, how everyon...You piece Shattered shows beautifully, how everyone is affected and feels.Vivian Helenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15760364319705013669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5086827674284210312.post-19041010210791260552013-05-18T08:32:34.493-06:002013-05-18T08:32:34.493-06:00sending loving hugs.. my father died of the result...sending loving hugs.. my father died of the result of Alzheimer's.

My own mother-in-law died from the effects of Alzheimers and my mom, who will be 88 in June, is living with the everyday effects of vascular dementia. It is so true that we lose our loved ones millions of time over with this awful disease and condition. I feel destroyed every time I see my mum but uplifted when I see glimpses of the amazing woman we have always known. She bears this awful burden with patience and resignation. The final goodbye comes as a release but the loss is no less great. I wish you comfort in your loss. Your quilt is a fitting tribute. I hope the AAQI is a big success.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14223691871102821084noreply@blogger.com
