When a friend showed me the
Box of Chocolates wall hanging that she made to showcase an old button collection, my mind immediately went to
Priority: Alzheimer's Quilts and
Forrest Gump. In the movie, Forrest Gump, Forrest's mother tells him, "Life is like a box of chocolates...you never know what you're gonna get." That statement couldn't be more true, we don't know what life has in store for us...could Alzheimer's Disease be lurking right around the corner? None of us are immune to Alzheimer's and any one of us could be stricken with this horrible disease at any moment, which is why it is so important that we all do everything that we possibly can to help find a cure. My small contribution to the Alzheimer's Art Quilt Initiative for this month is this 7 1/4" x 7 1/4" inch quilt entitled, "Life Is Like A Box Of Chocolate" and although I don't know what I'm going to get, I'm going to hope and pray for a cure!
What a clever rendition of the box of chocolates idea!
ReplyDeleteOh.....I sure wish they could find a cure, I have a very dear friend and had two uncles suffer from it. Like your box of chocolates.
