A little story here. My daughters boyfirend, Doug, brought me a shirt that he'd borrowed from his best friend, Mike, 8 years ago. He explained had this shirt stayed in his closet for so long because Mike had died unexpectedly shortly after he'd borrowed it and he never had the heart to attempt to give it back to the friends wife...and just couldn't in good conscience simply dispose of it. Well, his friend had a 5 year old little girl named Paige when he died...she's turning 13 on Thursday, and recently she's been experiencing some agitation about not remembering things about her daddy very well anymore. So I told him that we could make a little Memory Memento pillow out of her daddy's shirt for her. I left the back of his IZOD shirt intact, using the buttons for the pillow opening and stitched her fathers initials on the pocket, leaving a little space along the monogram so she could slide a couple of other precious mementos of her fathers in the pocket for safekeeping if so chose to. I used the Cute Embroidery Embossed Swan Font on the front signifying Paiges name...the lillies and the Swans felt so serene and perfect for the project. Now she can get and/or give her dad a little hug whenever she wants to. I truly hope she likes it and isn't freaked out by it. The story brought tears to me when he asked me if I could make something special for her out of the shirt...I think of all the projects I've ever made, this one will carry the most meaning for so many of anything else I've ever done. She'll have her own piece of her fathers legacy and since Doug stays so closely in contact with her and her mother, I think he'll be even more special to her as she matures and realized how deeply he cared for her father as well. Thank you for letting me share this with you. ~Rita
