Prayers for you and your family.
Sewing has saved my sanity many times over the years. When the kids were babies, my sewing room was a walk-in closet across from their bedrooms (this was before baby monitors) so I could hear them if they had problems. Since DH was traveling a lot, this kept me from being to stressed to be a good mom.

Thank you all for the thoughts and prayers. As an update my father was released from the hospital today, which is great news for all of us. They think his marrow is not producing the blood that he needs. I am not sure what they will be doing for this because he did not wear his hearing aid so he only picked up a bit of it. My mom was there but is having memory issues and does not remember what they said.
Just that much has gotten better - hopefully the stress my husband is under will change as quickly!
Thank you all again, you all have a special place in my heart.

Three things to be blessed by.
1 your dad is doing better (thank goodness).
2 your husband is being told he does, still have a job.
3 your ability to sew and quilt which gives you a moment of simple control on something in your life. Isn't it wonderful how it can sooth the soul.
Good luck on everything.

We all pity ourselves sometimes when we feel tied down with ailing parents and husbands, then we hear or read about others problems and realize there is always somebody with the same situation or and even more demanding one. I can get out once in awhile for a short time, I love to shop the thrift stores and fabric stores, so I guess I am not as homebound as a lot of others. I always look forward to postings on the quilting board. I am glad I have a sewing building I can do my sewing in. Perhaps a time will come when I can't be outside the house. We love our loved ones and most of us enjoy caring for them. I am an only child from my Dad, so I am his only caregiver. He has been an awesome Dad.
