It has been a tough year

My Mother passed away this summer. The woman who taught me almost everything I know about crochet. She put the hook in my hand to give me something to do and keep me busy. She hated when we (3 boys, 3 girls) would say “I’m bored” as she had so much to do to keep us together. My Father was in the Navy and was gone months at a time and I know we were a handful.
My Mom was in the hospital for 5 weeks. My sister Mary was there during the day and I was there at night. My other sister Liz was in the hospital having had heart surgery. We do what we do best and crocheted. I completed 3 baby afghans and 2 full size afghans. (I will be putting these on my website soon.) The past weeks we have gone through my Mother’s personal things and are trying to move on. My Mother had so many family photos and I am scanning these now for other family members.

I can’t wait for 2012. It has got to be a better year.
