Comfort in the midst of pain, sadness and fear...

She did love her dress and was just crying the whole time I was fitting her she was so happy... it was the first gown she ever tried on too and it felt good that I got to make her one and put to good use some left over fabric .... YIKES Fabrics are my cross addiction --but wait .. I hoarded fabrics even before surgery LOL...

Thanks for your support Gina and for what YOU do in our lives too... whether in agreement or not we are sistas on the journey and YOU are a huge blessing in this community of which I am a part of too....

MY NEXT PROJECT is a GINA doll ... I hope I can capture you as close to your liking as possible.  I have fun making those dolls and it is an awesome next project to engage in... see ????... you helped me already today... crafts are an awesome therapy... and when done from the heart and with no strings attached they are 'awesome-er' and I know that is not a word LOL..

Martita- You poor poor thing!  I am so sorry for your deep loss!  You are always thinking of others though,  and your  beloved  papa would be (is) looking down on you proudly and telling all that this is his daughter with love and pride!   I am like you in that I just have my 2 brothers left in my family, and I so miss my mom especially, and her sister my auntie.  My dad died when I was 8 and I still think of him, too.

Please know I pray for you and your family and thank you for all you have done for all of us here at OH.  Your little snippets sometimes are the only things that keep me going many days.  I seem to be the master of excuse making so I am out to mend my ways and get back on track myself and perhaps do something as good as you are doing!!!  Keep up your journey Martita and again, know that I think of you and that your family is always with you cheering you on, too.  Try and take good care ok?  Molly

You mean that much to me too Molly .. thank you so much for such noble sentiments ... I am strong and have tons of memories and will count on the good ones to carry me through.
