You are an amazing woman who could have turned such a tragedy in your life into a sour, poor me kind of thing. But you chose to persevere and conquer a new challenge. And look what good it has been for you. It's a honor to know you--even if it's in bloggerland! PS-you'll have to join our Quilter's Retirement Village--a bunch of are going to open one when the need arises. We will have pool boys doing our cooking, cleaning, rotary cutting and other things that we don't like or shouldn't do so we can sit around and quilt to our heart's content!
