OT Bye Dad

6 weeks ago I asked for thoughts/prayers for my dad and all the family were able to visit him before the end of the summer including one of his cousins who hadn't seen him for years. On 19th Sept he came home from hospital and I was working on a coming home quilt for him to use, but was delayed by needing a new foot control. Unfortunately after a week at home he had to be readmitted with pneumonia but I was able to drive the 5 hours and spend a few days visiting him. Sadly that was just one thing too much for him to cope with and he passed away quietly this morning.

Yesterday I did finish his quilt and, knowing how sick he was, took it to work today so I could look at it and touch it as it was sewn with my love for him and I had it with me when my mum & brother phoned with the inevitable news.

I'm sorry for you. At least you could spend time with him and have a proper farewell, if there is such a thing. And the quilt is very pretty. I find it eerie how memories get into quilts. I started my first quilt, a blockhouse foot rest cover, while I was expecting my second baby, and all the worries I had for this pregnancy went into it. Then there was the abortion and although I thought I had come to terms with fate I find that I still can't finish the thing. In your case it seems that all the love you had for each other is bundled up in the quilt an comforts you a good deal. I'm sure he would have appreciated the quilt.

U. - not good with words on such occasions.
