~God Bless You~
One evening my grandmother called me and asked that my daughter make her a pillow so she can use it to rest her arm while sleeping on the hospital bed. Jessie made her the pillow and I helped her personalize it. We gave it to Mama Rosa and she was so happy that her great-grand daughter made it for her. Jessie was really happy to share that moment with Mama Rosa!
Unfortunately, it has been a very emotional year for me. My grandmother, who raised me has been struggling with health issues for the past year and has been in and out of the hospital. Due to the severity of her health conditions we are now taking it one day at a time and enjoying each moment we have together.
While visiting her one afternoon she requested I make her a lap quilt to match the pillow my daughter Jessie made her. She said she wanted the lap quilt so when visitors came to see her she can cover her lap and legs and still look beautiful. : ) Since she requested these colors and wanted hearts and flowers I found this colorful and lively pattern. Needless to say, I went home and made it.
During my next visit to see her I gave the lap quilt and when she saw it she had such a beautiful smile of joy and gratitude. I owe her my life because without her and my grandfather, I would not be the woman I am today. I love you Mama!
I hope she is better Karen. Mama Rosa was also my grandmothers name.
