A Most Precious Gift

Just over a month ago our dear family friend, June, passed away after battling cancer.  June was the sweetest, most caring person you could ever hope to meet.  Of the many things she did for other, one was sewing for sick children.  Her specialty was quilts. 
I have always known that quilts were precious.  Quilts are made with time and love.  Quilts hold you with the love that was put into them.  To me quilts are family and history, hope and joy. 
Today Graesen was given a most precious gift: one of June's quilts she made for children.  And he gets it.  He gets how special this is.  He asked me if June made it for him, because she is up in heaven and knew it would be special.  He asked to sleep with it tonight.  And he asked to send a picture to June's husband, Larry, and to June as well.  While I told him we couldn't mail a picture to heaven, I thought June could probably see him and knows how much he loves his new quilt.  He told me he thinks heaven is everywhere around us...
