Losing our ...Oh sweet Mari, my heart aches for you. Losing our moms is a milestone event (a very sad one) that changes you for the rest of your life. While time marches on and we age into matriarchal roles ourselves, our moms are always in our thoughts and hearts. The tears can come on suddenly, especially when something happens to make you think “I have to tell Mom this!”, and then you realize…. Big, gentle hugs to you…. xo.

My mom has been gone for years - and she, too had a quilt I'd made although by the time she passed she thought she made it and had no idea who I was.
