Oh wait!!! I didn’t tell you my dear journal about the best part of Christmas. Did I say in all the ranting and raving about all I had to do before Christmas that I was also finishing a quilt for my Dad. I made a John Deere quilt, and if I could figure how to get WordPress to cooperate, I would post a pic. It is really beautiful. It has its faults, and anyone with an eye for quilting could see, but worth millions in sentiment. I gave it to my Dad last night, and I had made a fabric tag with an inscription on it, that went something like this: This quilt was lovingly made for my daddy, (his name) by (my name) Christmas 2009. If anyone ever did read my blog (they don’t, not one hit in days), they would know, I think it is writ, that my Dad was diagnosed with the Big C this year. Doc’s did not give us a lot of hope. That rocked my world. But, evidently they were not counting on my family and our prayers, and he is now in remission. So, I presented him with the quilt last night, and my Dad, who I have only seen cry, maybe 2-3 times in my life, burst into tears. Of course, so did I. He was thinking, like we all did, that he would not even be here this year. He said, ” I have the best kids in the world”.
Thank You God, for one more year.
It was a great Christmas.
