Confusion Acknowledged

I'm not quite sure what happened with July's Priority: Alzheimer's donation quilt.  One thing led to another and it finished quite differently than what I had originally planned.  It's more of a confused mess of color than the pretty little quilt that I originally envisioned. At one point during its construction I was so unhappy with it that I was going to throw it away.  It was then that it occurred to me that it was the perfect Priority: Alzheimer's quilt.  We don't cast aside our loved ones just because of an Alzheimer's diagnosis...we acknowledge the confusion and forge ahead the best we can.  Which is exactly what I did with this quilt.

    Yep, good choice to finish your little quilt, and your explanation is quite accurate...we would not toss someone to the side when dealing with a dreadful illness ~~ at least I hope and pray that we would not! Your thoughts speak so well to the cause and the quilt!

    I am glad you decided to finish the quilt. You spoke true words of wisdom with regards to this horrible disease.

    I love what you said about not casting aside our loved ones with this diagnosis. There was a letter in our local newspaper recently where the writer was complaining about a neighborhood nursing home wanting to expand their facility to include an Alzheimer care unit. The write was having a fit because she didn't want 'that kind of people in her neighborhood.' So insensitive and unbelievable.
