Just so you all know (and you don't think I am avoiding or ignoring anyone)

Today brought more bad news for my dear FIL. My heart is broken. In light of this news I have decided that I really must take a break from online activities. I hope to find stitching time (it keeps me sane and calms me) BUT sharing it is something that will just have to wait. If I have learned anything in my lifetime it is that life is so short. PLEASE remember to let your family and friends know they are loved and while time allows MAKE MEMORIES.

Take care friends...I will CERTAINLY miss you all(some of you more than you can know as some of you have been so good to me recently and I can't thank you enough for that)!!
hugs and love,
BeckySC

Theresa said...

I generally don't say much. I just read and admire your gorgeous stitching. But..

In the last 2 yrs I have lost my MIL and FIL. I can't possibly imagine the kind of heartbreak and sorrow you are going through, but I recall how I felt when I lost 2 of the most important people in my life.

My heart goes out to you in this time of being tested. I pray for you and your family.

Deb said...

All my prayers going out to you and your family Becky.
