My Favorite Person

I really love people. But the person who has stolen my heart is 5'6" and about 128 pounds....and some 83 years old! My Momma is my heart! I love everything about her. I've even tried to find something positive about her dementia. It's hecka hard, but I have found that she's more loving than she's ever been before. And because I get to love on her everyday, I created a portrait quilt to capture not just who she was, but who she continues to be. She continues to be someone who is concerned about how you're feeling. Even through the dementia you will catch her asking you, "What's wrong?" You don't want to admit that you're not feeling well, but she still knows. I took a picture of her on a dolphin-watching excursion at Tybee Island in 2013. I get to wake up to this wonderful portrait quilt daily. It touches my spirit each time I see it. I love it. I love her! She's my favorite person!
