Prayer Quilt


I am very lucky, blessed, and grateful for the support I have received from so many family members, friends, colleagues, and good people I don't have the pleasure to know well personally, who have heard of my situation with fighting cancer. In moments when I find it hard to be grateful for the positive medical things I try to pull from my experience, I am never at a loss to find peace and gratitude from all of you who have shown me kindness and support, love and prayers.

Thank you. I cannot say it enough, to all of you. I love you.

Recently I was moved by a very touching display of this compassion and caring in the form of a beautiful Prayer Quilt, made by the Assumption Prayer Quilt Ministy, the church of cousins Mickey and Jackie. The quilt is beautiful, but the thought and prayers behind it are amazing. I felt it myself, and everyone I have shown it to has responded with a strong feeling of love and hope.

The letter which came with the quilt explains that each of the threads hanging from it have knots, where each knot represents a prayer that was said for me in their church.

I hope pictures can show what my words fail to convey.
