What a fabulous gesture for your dad. I ...Hi Jill,<br />What a fabulous gesture for your dad. I am surprised this touched a chord in my life. My dad spent 4 days in palliative care in Feb. before his death. On his bed was an afghan Mom made from Stylecraft Dk yarn with pattern from Lucy in Attic 24, her granny stripe one. Mom made another to donate to that ward and has made one for just about everyone in the family. She is 82, uses her ipad and lives in Corner Brook, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. I'm telling you all this just to show isn't the blogging world powerful and uniting. Happy Hooking!Jocelyn is Canadian Needle Nanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11770193529950365462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8020871316401082930.post-88645798717823855732016-04-22T20:47:08.086+01:002016-04-22T20:47:08.086+01:00Hi Jill, I'm sorry to hear about your Dad.

You're a sweet daughter to make another one for your mom. Looking forward to seeing the colours you choose for it.<br /><br />Congratulations on your new holiday home! What a wonderful idea, and I'm sure your mother will be so pleased to have you come and stay so close to her. What fun to be able to decorate another house right from scratch!

The first year after someone passes is so hard, so many things they are missing. You are a wonderful daughter to go over and spend time with your Mom. After my Dad passed away I was cleaning out his place and found several things I had made my Mom in boxes, she never used them but carefully kept them in tissue and boxed up. A felted bag and several shawls and a sweater. I donated all of them to Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in hopes someone would like them to keep them warm.<br />Hugs,<br />MeredithMereknitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04596140300034854370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8020871316401082930.post-76880397260106919642016-04-16T12:45:16.033+01:002016-04-16T12:45:16.033+01:00What a lovely blanket you made him, it's hard ...What a lovely blanket you made him, it's hard isn't it when our families change shape. When it would have been my parents 50th, Dad had already left us several years earlier and Mum had Alzheimer's and couldn't remember any of us. I sat with her, held her hand and told her that today was a special day as her ring had been on her finger for 50 years. I don't think she was that bothered to be honest but she loved the cram cake I had bought her to celebrate! I'm glad you managed to be there too :) xxxVintage Sheet Addicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16027266547200808397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8020871316401082930.post-34405120396339074882016-04-16T00:48:38.520+01:002016-04-16T00:48:38.520+01:00Beautiful love in every stitch!
