Going With My Heart

Jun 06, 2008 4 Replies

On Wednesday I will be giving the twice Veteran of the Iraq War the Red Star Quilt as a house warming gift for he and his wife just moved into their first home. I ask his permission to give it to him on Wednesday and he was overjoyed and said it would be a privileged to receive it. Nate is 38 and a PT in charge of the cardiac rehab unit for Meritcare. A fine young man who has proved himself to be a geniune healer of the heart as well as the soul. I shall be telling him of the history behind each piece of material....as I will always think of the joy I received each time I opened a package from all of you. It truely has kept my spirits alive. I may even make a third Star Quilt if my "road is long enough." Right now I am sewing tumblers together and getting ready to travel to the East to consult with my Editor/Publisher of my books. I need help with this book of short fictional stories....real life keep creeping IN.

I'm so glad your dilemma has been resolved, Rhoda. I think it was always a great idea, and I love the way it is working out. You are making one special young man feel very treasured. Good luck with the editor meeting! . In message , R. E. Wicker writes

I'm happy too, Rhoda, that you're going with your heart. I was hoping that you would. Polly

Rhoda: I just peeked at your two r/w/b star quilts. Lovely! I am so pleased to know you will be sharing this with a deserving troop. So, I've got Pat's Original Virginia Fife and Drums Corps playing "Stars and Stripes Forever!" in sunny and hot Virginia.

How incredibly wonderful, Rhoda! Thanks for sharing this story.
