Thank you for such a emotional journey through your quilt. I have never, ever read such a beautiful, honest, gut wrenching quilt story, nor have I ever related so strongly. Whew...now I really miss my mom...for the words never said, for the hugs and smiles that heal. Thank you for this!!! Oh, and I'm sorry you had to tear all that old backing out...healing as it may have been, but the final choice is actually perfect and much nicer with that beautiful quilt.lindak21https://www.blogger.com/profile/08574925833347702570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6772130163577468176.post-38015471047581724892016-09-25T16:07:52.653-04:002016-09-25T16:07:52.653-04:00Thank you for sharing your story, Preeti.

This quilt is gorgeous and the story of your relationship with your mom is heartrending. I wish your relationship could be less painful for you both, and believe me, no matter how difficult, she feels some pain, also. Your dialogue with your mom and her asking why you put so much effort into it is very telling. She may regret the past and feel that she doesn't deserve that effort. Saying it's beautiful may be her way of saying thank you for the effort you've put into repairing your relationship. Even mothers may have difficulties saying what is in their hearts--how do you come to terms with causing your child pain? <br /><br />It seems that you've worked through much of that pain and are in a better place. Loving who you are today and realizing that your past is part of your present is a great sign. Accepting our past--including the pain--is a good way to begin the healing. You're moving forward and learning from it. I love your words: we are not connected by hurt but by our love for each other. You are a beautiful young woman and a philosopher.Mary Marcottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14569619947909529203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6772130163577468176.post-87944297187770211222016-07-03T09:40:54.940-04:002016-07-03T09:40:54.940-04:00It's fantastic!

I'm so glad you were able to let go of some hurt and pain. I was a different person when I had finally and fully forgiven my mom for 40 years of hurt and disappointment. I freed myself in the release. While we might never be besties, we are more than civil and cordial, which used to be the best we could do. Now the love , laughter, and acceptance are there. I made her a quilt once (but I think it's been in a closet ever since because she just doesn't use things are "too nice" or "too sentimental"--which is one of the things I used to be hurt about, and have now accepted. I won't make her another one because I like my quilts to be used and appreciated, not put up and away. I read your most recent post as well. Sorry, frog. I couldn't promise not to complain (well, I could promise but I'd fail miserably). Heat and I aren't friends unless we're talking winter fireplaces!Zoannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07119513647613843627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6772130163577468176.post-19101067105318518022016-06-28T11:08:13.583-04:002016-06-28T11:08:13.583-04:00It is so gorgeous - and tugs at your heartIt is so gorgeous - and tugs at your heartAlycia~Quiltygirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16283575876006453806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6772130163577468176.post-71050400950875134232016-06-27T19:12:35.829-04:002016-06-27T19:12:35.829-04:00Such a beautiful quilt, and a moving story.

Very happy that the trip was such a success and that you have comfort and connection with that quilt. Quilts are amazing in that way no?
