Dear Sister,
Today was a very special day. Brooke drove all the way from St. George just to see you for the day. She has to work tomorrow and could only stay till 9pm, but she wanted to see you so bad and couldn't wait another day! She loves you so much!
She could not believe how much you have grown. She thinks you are beautiful and the cutest baby girl in the whole wide world! We agree 100%!
Brooke brought with her a very special gift. She made for you a beautiful quilt that you will have for the rest of your life. It is amazing.
Quilts are a gift of love, Sis. The material is picked out with love and thought. Each piece is sewn together with great care. It is a labor of love that will last forever and will provide not only beauty, but warmth when it's cold.
But I also think quilts are very symbolic. Sister, we are all separate pieces in this life, carefully brought together by our Heavenly Father. He puts us together in a beautiful way and with His love we become stronger and better with one another. We provide warmth and love to each other that we could not have on our own. He is the "thread" that holds all of us together. He makes us beautiful.
May this precious gift always remind you of the love Brooke has for you, the blessing that it is to have each other, AND who makes it all possible...
Yes, it is a very special gift indeed.
I love you so much,
Mom
