I lost my husband in July and my brother (who was my best friend and felt like a father at the same time) in September of this year. I don't know what we are going to do this year without both of them with us. Its going to be rough but I have my four children (all grown but still my children) to help through this as well. I know with the help of our savior we will make it but I'm sure there will be a lot of crying and memories to share. God bless you and have a Happy Thanksgiving with your dad and family.Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08811808066441832163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-45813516642742936462018-11-20T13:15:18.706-05:002018-11-20T13:15:18.706-05:00We Count our blessings each minute of the day.

Many of my friends have lost their homes and much loss of life. Most of the town of Paradise has been lost. So when you talk about what is important, it is times like these that we have realize what is important. However, the fire fighters, first responders and the community have bonded together. The quilting community across the USA have been wonderful and supportive. Us quilters do what we do the best, make pillowcases, comfort quilts, open up a store for the displaced quilters. Nice to be a part of a wonderful community! So....yep totally get what you are saying...Happy Thanksgiving Bonnie and thank you for making many lives happier!Barbara Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12610599357155530093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-15090869739166818992018-11-20T09:02:49.143-05:002018-11-20T09:02:49.143-05:00Very interesting site...clear solid and easy to di...Very interesting site...clear solid and easy to digest<br /><a href="http://obatalamimaagkronis.com/" rel="nofollow">Obat Alami Maag Kronis</a>Dede Yusup Bisrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10603733518770034086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-90823985290414442482018-11-20T08:56:00.251-05:002018-11-20T08:56:00.251-05:00Bonnie, I have a very dear friend who lost her dau...Bonnie, I have a very dear friend who lost her daughter who was 32 years old a few months ago and she is just shattered emotionally, especially under the circumstances. She is a devoted "Bonnie" and "mystery" quilter fan. I think it would be such healing to her if she were able to spend a little time at Quiltville Inn with you as well. I am so worried about her through this holiday season - the first without her beloved daughter.Ladydukeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14924790690799735080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-58851496876170528882018-11-20T08:08:19.656-05:002018-11-20T08:08:19.656-05:00Many blessings for all you do for all of us.

He said he learned that lesson in war, but that many people are reminded of that in different ways--through a cancer scare, a car accident, or witnessing a tragedy in someone else's life. The question then becomes, what will we do with these days, and the feeling of gratitude we have at being alive and having this time? <br />Last week would have been my beloved friend's 59th birthday--she was a sister to me in every way except genetics, and I'm more likely to describe her as my sister than as a friend and never feel I'm being untruthful. She was only 44 when she died, and it still amazes me that I'm now older than she, because she always had 5 years on me. Whenever I hear people bemoan growing old, I think of Tami, and how she was denied that privilege. I know often the griping is just a habit, but it's one I can't allow myself. Every day *is* extra, is a gift, and I owe it to Tami not to forget that.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11786511163919657885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-51430886036227007972018-11-20T02:51:17.964-05:002018-11-20T02:51:17.964-05:00Prayers and love to your friend at this time, we j...Prayers and love to your friend at this time, we just never know what is planned for us around the corner.<br />Have a wonderful holidays with your dad family and friends <br />Love and quilty hugs <br />Anne xxxAnne Haywardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11938368580671004796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-54594089415469047162018-11-19T21:42:58.049-05:002018-11-19T21:42:58.049-05:00So true!

My dad died (years ago)just weeks before Christmas. It was so wierd not having him there, but we did a lot of reminiscing, crying, and laughing. All of which brought healing to our hearts.<br /><br />It is my prayer that you and your family will embrace the memories of time spent with your brother, and that those moments of sadness will lead to moments of peace and healing.<br /><br />God bless you Bonnie!!
