Sometimes this is exactly what we need to keep us busy and dwell on the "good/positive memories" instead of the loss. <br />We lost our dog a couple weeks back, and although she was a member of the family... it's not anywhere near the same at all as losing a head of the family. My prayers will include your family. <br />Your thoughtfulness will be enjoyed longer than you know. <br />Take care of yourself too... I hope that your thumb heals quickly. Sorry to hear that you burned yourself... be careful! <br />Hugs....Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11744073613012413496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7016674207999094300.post-63612679954900770022011-09-06T09:17:52.518-07:002011-09-06T09:17:52.518-07:00Oh Allie.

Very sorry.<br />My Husband was just diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer in July that has gone to his brain and tailbone. It has been so tough and sad and scary. We have been together since I was 17 and he was 19. High school sweethearts. We have been married since 1978.

They will certainly treasure the “blankets” you are stitching with love. <br /><br />Take care of your burn. So far I have escaped injury in “putting up” our garden this year.
