Falling in Love




This is a small pillow my mom cross stitched. My father picked it out. I never got to experience my parents "in love" because I was so young when they parted ways. I have a few pieces my mom has made that were started while she was pregnant with me.  Little things like this are a sweet treat that give me glimpses of the love they had for each other that led to me. I'm sure there's a tremendous amount of hope and love in every stitch. My mom gave it to Stella and we keep it on her window seat. It reminds me, "we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose (Romans 8:28)."

  1. The day your mom brought this over to give to you/Stella...big time flash back. Wish I could have seen the look on my face. I remember this piece well, and can't believe she kept it for all these years. So glad to be free of what kept her and I from having a friendship. Now we can both enjoy you and your family...Love you Poopsie!!!

  2. Your father and I are lucky to still be friends to this day, we have you to thank for keeping that bond.
