It took a while, but finally seeing all three of my little girls

was certainly a gift worth waiting for!

Proud papa holds firstborn,
both connecting in full wonder.

AUGUST 26 - A GIFT CUT, SEWN AND BUTTONED

This work of my Mother-in-Law's hands...

and on display in our bedroom,

has carried with it the sweet memory
of a very kind and loving Italian lady.

Here she is, with my husband's sister,

shortly before cancer took her Home.
