Wish #56



This square is a nursery print of sorts. It is a patchwork of blues, greens and yellows with ducks, hearts, numbers and bunnies. It is a cheerful print that I know will make Ty smile and maybe ask questions about babies here in America and marvel at the items available for babies.

That is the other wonderful and indirect use of this quilt. It will open the door for so many conversations we can have together...for years to come. It will bless all of us over and over. I can see us sitting on Ty's bed looking at it - unable to speak to each other too much. And then he sees a square that really interests him and has to pantomime the question to me. And we end up in a game of charades trying to communicate with each other!

This quilt is such a gift. A gift of love, a gift of bonding and communication, a gift of belonging. Thank you all.

The future belongs to those
Who believe in the beauty
of their dreams.
