Jan 2nd. Took 3 Days.
Mom's first monthly pillow is all finished and put together. So not only a finish but a finished finish.
I need to take a moment now to honor my dear friend. I got the call Thursday morning at 2am that my dear friend had lost her fight with cancer. We met this family through our hobby Geocaching. We met in 2006 and for some reason we just clicked. Throughout the years we have became family practically. Their son who is 16 now is Jeremiah's best friend. He's the one in the photo I shared of Jeremiah and him swimming together in October. She was told in October she had 2 to 6 months to live. We luckily got to see her two times before she left us. When Bernice passed Damein wanted to call his Aunt Katie and I'm so thankful he knew he could call me no matter the time of night. We will miss her so much. She was a wonderful mom, wife, and friend. Please keep her family in your thoughts and prayers.
