So sad...

Just want to share this with some one. Today, in our local newspaper, Mr. M's obituary states that he passed on last Friday, oddly the day that I completed the quiltie that I had made in his honor. It says that he had owned his own company, hiked all 46 high peaks of the Adirondack Mountains, was an avid skiier, dad to 5 children, and grandfather to 10.

With the completion of you little quilt though, there is joy in the sadness - and a wonderful memory

But you recognized him with your PQ "before" the obituary... so many wait until "after" to say/do kind things and then wish they had done so earlier... perhaps this is one of the greatest lessons we learned traveling along the long road with my mother and her Alz. journey...
