It has been almost a week since I last wrote. I have been slowly recovering from Pneumonia, and beginning to sound my usual self. That, in itself, is a blessing, as I desperately want to visit my sister-in-law who has become ill and who is in ICU as I write this.
Anne, or "Nanda" as she is known to her family, was born in Guyana and came to Canada at 15 years of age. She has two children, a boy and a girl, and is "nana" to Ethan, who is two. She is a tough little cookie, and I am sure that she will do well recovering from this illness. She has the support of a large family... a husband that has not left her side since she became ill....and two children that love her dearly.
What does one do from a distance? Pray, encourage, support... and make quilts. I am presently making Anne a Ragg Quilt which I hope will give her pleasure, and warmth. I will post pics when it is completed.
So... Please send healing thoughts and prayers her way. Thank you.
You've got my prayers sent to Nanda. I hope she is not too terribly sick, and I am so happy to hear that you are getting well yourself. The season is upon us, isn't it? Big hugs across the border to you...
ReplyDeleteAww, Thanks Djan. That means a lot.
