It was so sweet that your sister stitched her sampler for you. Your words that you live a positive life to honor her are so moving... and such a good reminder to appreciate the "gifts" we are given. <br /><br />I will be thinking of you and your family this Sunday. <br /><br />I would love to have my name entered for the EEF chart. I think it is so neat that you used to work for them and have good memories of taking Rebekah to work there with you. <br /><br />Hugs to you.Kelliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02935111380330769183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925903488080175342.post-31603112732692870052012-04-26T11:09:33.089-06:002012-04-26T11:09:33.089-06:00What a great post and a lovely sampler - thank you...What a great post and a lovely sampler - thank you so much for sharing it with us!!!! <br /><br />Throw me in for the Napa Sampler - I have been there many times and love the area and had never seen this one until you posted it.Edgarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00837185107544953448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925903488080175342.post-30425292533828057792012-04-26T08:15:24.389-06:002012-04-26T08:15:24.389-06:00OH Doris, I can't imagine losing a child!!!! ...OH Doris, I can't imagine losing a child!!!!

Even if I don't blog much I have learned so much from others by reading their blogs. This one in particular is always inspiring to me as a mom of a daughter with cerebral palsy as I have told you in the past. Rebekah's sampler is the most beautiful thing. What a wonderful gift from your sister . Thank you for sharing your story about your daughter , such a special gift.I feel the same way about living life to the fullest even when you have dealt with some very hard times. Thank you.xoxoJenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11262115193265532618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925903488080175342.post-50317940450238525642012-04-26T05:30:20.907-06:002012-04-26T05:30:20.907-06:00Since you once posted about Rebekah, I have though...Since you once posted about Rebekah, I have thought about you and her here and then.
