I was just sharing with my mom the other day that I went out and bought a dandruff shampoo and when I was showering I had a huge flashback of memories. It was such a familiar sent. All I wanted was to hug and hold my Grandma. I reminded me of her. I could not stop crying. I also had an idea for your clothes project. I had a friend make a teddy bear out of old shirt. Neat thing was is she added a pocket on front of bear. She said sometimes it is therapeutic to write notes and keep them in the pocket. I know we are not close but I would love to help you with the sewing if you need it. I love to sew and love making things for friends. You both are always in my prayers.

I have to tell you this would be the WORST thing for me to do!! I can’t imagine how you realy feel and having to do that well my eyes are filled with tears just thinking about it. Isn’t funny how smells affect us. I am a very smelly kind of person. Not like I smell but I am taken back with scents. Evey time I have gone somewhere I buy a new shampoo or deoderant or bug spray and then never use it again and then that smell in locked in my memory bank as the smell for that trip. I still have the body wash Justin and I used on our honeymoon and I just was diging thru the bag that had it in there and I could smell our trip and it took me back! I hope you have many scents that remind you of Mark. I will keep praying!

I just wanted to share the idea of the quilt. My husbands grandpa passed away in March and I was so very close to him. I took all his favortie shirts and pj’s to my aunt, who is an awesome seamstress, and the result was a beautiful quilt with all his favorite clothes. She also sewed the picture from his memorial service in the blanket as well. As I type this, it’s sitting here on the top of my couch for all to see and remember him. I love it and it’d be a great thing!!

Know that I'm continuing to lift up prayers! Psalms 27:4-5 One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple. For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock. Prayer Bears My email address

I’m sure it was a difficult thing to do, but it was a BIG step…I cried just reading it!

Hey Angie,
I check in on you every day, via the blog, but wanted to drop you a note to let you know how loved and prayed for you are. Every time I read one of your posts I am reminded that often a person in the center of a “life storm” can’t see how much God is using them in it. It warms my heart to see your love for Jesus and every post is evidence of His presence in your life, especially the hard ones, and Gos is using His hand on your life at this time and this place is touching many (including me!)

Love you,
B&T

LOVE the idea of a memory quilt for Nolan out of his dad’s shirts…

I saw a show on TV one time that had a t-shirt quilt in it and I thought that was a fabulous idea!! I told my husband about it (since he has like 9 million t-shirts!) and he thought it was a perfect way to highlight one’s history, memories…whatever you want to call it. Yours would have so much history and memories attached…I think it’s wonderful.

You’re doing great Angie!

Always praying for you!
