~Tears~

Today was Christmas. We had 20 for dinner.
Later we did the gift exchange which is always fun and before the end of the evening I was given a gift that was so awesome.
My sister had died unexpectedly in n2006. She was an amazing sister. After I lost my son she was at my side whenever possible. She even moved back to town. Sheila loved Jim so much. After he had disappeared she started to make a quilt with some photos of Jim and the family. She never finished it. Her daughter Michelle ( Matthew and Stella's Mom ) called Vicki and asked her to help her finish the quilt. Sheila had the material and had pinned the pictures in place. Because the backing had sat in a box for over 16 years it was ruined so they decided to make it smaller. They cut the material in half and used it as the back.
They gave me a gift bag and said it was from Sheila.... The minute I started unfold it the tears sprung and was so hard to stop. I remember when she told me she was making it.
For Michelle and Vicki to finish it is beyond words. It touched my heart and will forever.
