My new quilt

While in Florida in November, we picked up some stuff from my Dad.  While visiting my stepmom, she gave my sisters and I the best gift I could ever imagine.  She made us each a quilt of my Dad's shirts.  Even typing this, tears are flowing.  There are no words to describe the void in my life and the whole in my heart from this loss. 

 

This is my youngest sister, Kate and I.  As you can see, my Dad liked Hawaiian shirts.  In fact, he liked anything and everything Hawaii (or tropical) and spent many vacations traveling there.  His love for warm climates is definitely something I have inherited :).
