They Are Finished


I had 5 quilts made...

...from Rob's clothes...

...1 for me and 1 for each of our 4 children.


I thought that would be the best thing to do for our children to have a tangible reminder of their dad.

I have so many photos of him...

...in so many of the clothes I see in the quilts.




Kay started the quilts in February of this year...


 ...and finished the last one this month right before the 2nd anniversary of Rob's death.

I thought that was quite appropriate and quite coincidental (a God coincidence) that it came when I am in such a place of healing and peace.

The quilts were the last thing that I had started as a memory / memorial type thing.

And now, they are finished.

And I love every one of them.

Kay did a great job.








She made sure she included details, like his buttons,



his pockets,





the creases in his pants,


and even one logo from his Pamlico Emmaus shirt.


I was so excited when I got the first one in April.


I was so excited each time when I would go to her house to get another one.



And I was so excited to get the last one.


I, and the kids, love them all!


Thank you to Kay for doing such a wonderful job bringing Rob's clothes back to "life" to cover my children with the memories of their dad!
