Father’s Day is so hard to celebrate for me anymore… since my husband passed away 6 years ago it has been hard to move forward on this day.. and I think I may have found what works for me! Remembering fun time with my Papa.. my maternal grandfather!
You see when I was little we lived across a field from my grandparents… I would go to “Gaga and Papa”s house almost every day. As I got older I visited often… and during my tumultuous teens my grandfather was always there to listen… give advice… but not force his advice… I learned so much through his walk in life.
My grandfather died when I was pregnant with my first child in January 1985.. my first son was named after him when he was born the next month… he says he passed Papa as he was going to heaven and he was coming down to be born! lol
So that is my Father’s Day celebration… what are your strongest paternal thoughts about today?
I did start my day with some slow stitching.. on Oh My Stars… this is such a fun wall hanging to work on I enjoy every break I can get to put a few stitches in 🙂
I also took a little time to read and in doing so met a goal I set last month AND found the way I will quilt the border of Oh My Stars 🙂
I got this book from Amazon a while back and just never took time to read this gem of a book… but this is how I plan to quilt that busy outer border in navy thread 🙂
I am also making progress on Project RJq today… I will save that for it’s own post..
Looking forward to List, Tick and Party time at my linky the last weekend of June… make some goals for July and link up for a chance to win a cool prize this month!
Linking this luscious hand quilting post up to Kathy’s Slow Sunday Stitching here 🙂
Have a blessed Sunday!
