The squares started arriving. And all I could think about was how quickly life can change. I've recently had a lot of those moments that catch your breath. I don't know the pain of losing a child, but I know loss. And grief takes time.
I think putting the pieces together was therapy for me. Sort of like putting back together something that's been broken. The blanket is beautiful. I'm donating it to the NICU where River spent his days. I know that too many babies pass through there each year, and the nurses are angels to those families...they will choose wisely.
Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! I could never say that enough to those that helped.

how sad for your friends. i am so sorry.
i can't imagine how hard that must be for your friend. i'm sure that all of the love that went into the blanket was felt by river.
This is a wonderful gift for the NICU... how sad for your friends' loss. I'll pray for comfort for them...
The blanket looks great. You are so kind to do that for your friend and all the other babies that need a helping hand.
The blanket is sweet. It will be a comfort at the NICU. It really looks good all put together. All those stitches had prayers of hope intertwined, and that hope will be passed on still.
