But because you share your feelings they hit me like a ton of bricks and even though i don't have immediate family with Alz. I sure get it now and I feel for you and everybody else now. Thanks for sharing that with us.Quilt Junqueehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06974202551978648770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36789084.post-23252892283811872972010-07-10T06:16:29.633-07:002010-07-10T06:16:29.633-07:00I am so envious of your ability to actually put me...I am so envious of your ability to actually put meaning into these art quilts.

Just four short years ago they had to watch their dad lose his mental abilities with a brain tumor and my dad's AD is like ripping open a barely scabbed wound. It is hard enough to endure myself, but the most terrible pain is in watching my children :(Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15569137087415487008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36789084.post-58530188288105828302010-07-09T08:52:19.603-07:002010-07-09T08:52:19.603-07:00Congratulations, Michelle!
