You made my week, thank you

It has been a tough week, or so.  Over on my regular blog I'd posted that I had gone back to the UK to spend time with my Grandma who was battling stage 4 breast cancer.  Well, my dear sweet Grandma passed recently and it has been hard being soo far away from 'home' and family, but I am thankful that I was able to get back earlier to spend some good quality time together.  She was an amazing lady and I miss her dearly. 

Grandma was receiving hospice care at a palliative care nursing home.  It impressed upon me again how close to my heart this project is, and how extremely thankful I am for your support.  And good grief did this project receive your support this week - there have been a number of packages in the mail!  It truly lifted my spirits.  There's good friends locally who are helping out, but also people that I've never met before, or don't know me from Adam.  And yet are kind enough to find the time, materials and love to particpate.  I have to pinch myself sometimes just to believe it.

So onto the good stuff - here are the wonderful squares that arrived this week.  My heartfelt thanks to you all.

From the very sweet Misun:



And to coin a phrase... 'But wait, there's more:"

 

Good grief I thought I'd hit the jackpot with this package :) Thank you Misun.

Stacey had another sock square for me:



The lovely Luna sent these all the way from Australia!  (Not to mention she has recently upped and moved house and still found time to whip these out and get them in the mail.  Wowza, thank you.)

 

Another lovely square from Marsha:

 

And a couple more sock squares from Amina (pretty, pretty colours)

 

Even Naomi was giddy about the number of packages that came in this week. She celebrated her 3rd birthday at the end of Feb and now thinks any package that arrives in the mail is intended for her. I was happy to go along with this as she was tickled pink: Mommy, mommy, look at all these pretty squares. That's right sweetie, they are very pretty, and there are good, kind people out there.

Grandma was soo happy that we were doing this. She was an extremely talented knitter, and a generous soul. It broke her heart to see her son, my Dad, in hospice. I like to think that she and Dad are looking down and cheering us all on.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart,
Sam xxx
