She helped with her younger siblings and continued on with a career in early childhood education. Her specialty was children with special needs. She knew how to get down to a child’s level, engage them and listen to them. Joy interacted with adults in the same wonderful way. She was a wonderful example and role model as to how to parent and I hoped I could do the same when I became a parent. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif7GpL0FwYswgpNA8XLaIUin-IkcooramDzgcrGMCL01WlyJvViioyly4gQZfV0X601vLX9FItKq4Pg0kjFsXQoDWJG-hkWEbulgIJPlCUqy1SkDwdk1P6UBTnVCjTlOpYDb81RmwjsVSgq2WdsQ2vZB_YY467M-6eYmdYJwvQs90a1C24FhEbHNC9/s3024/C00FADE1-48E5-4A0F-87B6-729F83919DE3.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="3024" height="458" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif7GpL0FwYswgpNA8XLaIUin-IkcooramDzgcrGMCL01WlyJvViioyly4gQZfV0X601vLX9FItKq4Pg0kjFsXQoDWJG-hkWEbulgIJPlCUqy1SkDwdk1P6UBTnVCjTlOpYDb81RmwjsVSgq2WdsQ2vZB_YY467M-6eYmdYJwvQs90a1C24FhEbHNC9/w458-h458/C00FADE1-48E5-4A0F-87B6-729F83919DE3.jpeg" width="458" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Joy was also a gifted artist - painting, quilting, sewing, cross-stitch, doll making, crafting - she excelled in it all.

I love this phrase and it was so appropriate to stitch this year as we became empty nesters in January.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This design came with the linen, button and beads. The colors are so soft and pretty and I wanted a unique finish. It's hard to capture colors in the harsh winter sun.</div>

I know that it has been a month since I last posted. 2020 started off with a bang!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We moved our youngest out to Los Angeles. We enjoyed our visit, but leaving was so very hard to do. I have some fun to post about that trip, just need to find the time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
About a week and a half later, our oldest had surgery. He is recuperating and doing well. Just two days later our youngest had emergency surgery in Los Angeles. He had only been there for two weeks and was still getting to know his roommates and the lay of the land. I was back on a plane and headed for LA. Through both surgeries and the 4+ hour plane ride, I cross stitched while praying. Cross stitch provided focus and a productive diversion to get me through it all while praying. When fully finished I'll attach a tag to the back to remind what was going on while I was stitching. I was surprised at how well he was doing when I got out there. He is a strong young man who had been through a lot as young child. It did my heart good to see him and made me more comfortable returning home, although it was still hard. He is back to school and work and hopes to be fully recovered next month.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In the past week, both my husband and I have come down with a bad case of the flu. We are getting better and hope that the first two months are not a preview of the rest of the year, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but that things will calm down at least a bit. </div>
