Giving thanks is a natural thing for me, I do it everyday. But I love Thanksgiving day for the family time and good food too! Today we went to Luke's for the Gathering, and as always, there was plenty of fabulous foods, family, grandkids, and friends. I chose this day to give the Memory Quilts to Maggie and Becky. It will have been the first Thanksgiving Day for them (for all of us) without their Mother at the Gathering. I knew it would be emotional for them. She was always a big part of the food preparations, and there were more than one "Mom Moment."
Since Maggie had originally requested the quilts, she had more than an inkling what was in the gift bags I carried in, but for Becky it was a complete surprise. There were tears aplenty as they ooohed and ahhhed over their quilts, all while recognizing fabrics in the quilt blocks and remembering the clothes their Mom had worn. It was a poignant moment.
