Quilt

Ellie got upgraded around here last night with a new bed in her suite.  We added a quilt under her that's extra padded and extra meaningful.  It's handmade by my paternal grandmother, God rest her soul.  It has the stitching of her name and year in the corner - 1980.  This grandmother watched her healthy, active teenage son become paralyzed in an instant after a swimming accident.  She cared for her son for more than 40 years before his life ended the year Xavier was born.

I think she'd be well pleased her great-granddaughter is enjoying her blanket.
