He has been out of the brain rehabilitation unit for 18 months and I wanted to give back to the patients.
Last weekend I took my girls and my Dad up to the unit and we walked around with one of his nurses to distribute 5 lap size quilts that I had made. I loved watching the joy on my girls' faces and my Dad's. I didn't take any photos to preserve the privacy of the patients.
I can't wait to deliver a second round of quilts with the 3 of them.

This is so sweet of you, Julie. That must have been a very special experience.
It warmed my heart more than I can say. Watching my Dad and girls walk around and deliver the quilts was priceless. He told each and every person who made the quilts and why I had made them. I have already started my second batch. I'm hoping to make a delivery before summer starts.
How wonderful. It's a great life lesson for your girls to experience giving back and how gratifying it is - they will remember this for a very long time.
