I stitched this little design by Twisted Threads, using the recommended Sampler Threads from The Gentle Art, and used a piece of 32 count 'mystery' fabric - which basically means that I can't remember what it was. It didn't take long to stitch, and then I had it framed.....
I stitched this for Valentine's Day for my daughter.
She is in her early thirties now, with two small children, a loving husband and an equally loving family. She is my pride and joy.
In mid-December, she was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. Finally.
I say 'finally' as it has taken over six long years for the medical profession to find out what was wrong. Such a long time, when you are in pain and don't know why or what is happening to you.
At one G.P. appointment, that she was able to get after days of trying, the doctor, on hearing her symptoms said "Well, what do you expect me to do about it?"
How about your job?
I wish I had been with her that day.....
She is bright and happy, and determined not to let all this get her down. She is always cheerful, even when she is in pain.
I save my tears for the night, when my husband is asleep, and I lie, worrying about it all. I wish it was me instead of her - she has done nothing to deserve this - and so on. It gets me nowhere, I know, but there it is......
I would dearly love to hear from anyone in a similar situation, so if you feel you can, please let me know.....(lyndaharrison6@gmail.com)
So, to all of you out there on this Valentine's Day - just cherish all those you hold dear, and love them all every day of the year.
Back soon........
