blink


My mom had a vein rupture in her head this afternoon. She was operated on and it seems, tentatively, that she may be okay. But it was the scariest experience of my life to see her in so much pain. More pain than I have EVER seen. And my mom doesn't show pain. So. Please, if you pray, pray for her, too. And if you don't, please send her good thoughts and love.

(These are baby clothes in progress--I cut them out, she puts the fabrics together and sews. She was going to put them online. I love them. Hopefully she will still be able to do this someday.)

Hug your loved ones tight. This was literally the blink of an eye.

I remember visiting your family that Thanksgiving in college--there is so much love in that house I could feel it. I hope all will be well with your mom.

Hugs,

I signed on to find your comment about my quilt, clicked on your link and read your post. What a shock to hear of your mother's sudden illness! I sincerely hope she is feeling better and has a speedy recovery. Best wishes to you and your family.

I just blog-hopped over here. It is a few weeks later, and I hope your mom is doing better. What a terrifying thing to happen!
The baby clothes you and your mom make are beautiful. I hope that you are soon working together again on new projects!
