I recently made a brightly colored baby quilt with buterflies in the middle of neon colored churn dashes. I decided to give it to a little guy from my church who just came home from the hospital, first time since his birth 7 months ago. I brought it with me to church this morning to give to his grandmother, our pianist, but just before the service started, in walked the parents with the tiniest little boy. At
7 months he is just under 10 pounds, the size of a newborn, but because of his age, he holds his head up and carries his own bottle, such a funny sight. They sat in my pew and I think I totally ignored the pastor to admire these young parents who have been to hell and back since their child's birth. He's had multiple surgeries and still wears oxygen tubes and a tank. He really seemed to like the bright colors in the quilt. The congregation was so happy to finally meet baby Anthony.
