Really need some purchasing help

Howdy!

Bless your older daughter, Frank; the Lord bless all of you & give you peace. Hang on to the wonderful memory of that walk down the aisle, and all the love you shared. As these lovely women have said, make a quilt for someone y'all don't know. Perhaps making quilts for others will help soothe the pain, and certainly will help pass the time while you all heal from this blow. Thanks for trusting us w/ your news. After that walk down the aisle, is there a grieving son-in-law? Keeping all of you in prayers & hugs,

I'd buy them 4 days and 3 nights at a big international quilt show, help them enroll in at least one workshop per day, and give them spending money with orders that they have to find and buy what they need to do a big project together when they come home. The workshops and/or vendors will inspire them, and the chaos will be a refreshing, if exhausting, diversion.

I second this idea. Or buy them a nice non-quilt related vacation.

I'd like to thank you all for your kind words. Here's what I'm doing. I'm cooking and cleaning, they're going to make quilts. Tequila may be involved, teddy bear will watch. They do not want to go out to a quilt show right now, so don't think the show in October will happen (they may do a one day, but not the whole show). My job is to get the support materials ready (portobello mushroom burgers, arroz con pollo, top shelf margarita fixin's...) and let 'em go. Again, thank you all. Frank

That sounds like a good plan. They may just need time to be together quietly and having you cook will be wonderful. I'm sorry to hear about your older daughter. I'm sure you have lots of great memories to keep alive in your hears.

Frank, sometimes the best gifts are just taking up the slack like you are doing with the cooking and cleaning.

Your wife and daughter are very lucky.

Best regards, Michelle in Nevada

we all do what we can in times of need. i'm still fumbling along day to day. dh goes to work. has that to keep his mind busy while getting thru the worst first days, weeks, months, however long this might take. i'm home on my own, all my friends have moved overseas, the last one left in november. i've no inclination to do anything at all. i keep the kitchen tidy, run the vacuum couple of times a week, do laundry when there is enough for a load and weather permits, feed the cat, throw cleaner in the toilet and bathroom when in the mood. other than that i just dont care anymore. i have no idea how others cope in these situations. we all do things differently to make it thru. i know some of what you're going thru now. :(( just take it a day at a time and do what suits you all the best. i am so very sorry for your loss. it hurts all the more when there is no warning and it is someone so young. :(( j.
