This sweet lady, Jane Perlow, just received Quilt #126. For most people, when they retire, life gets a bit easier. Not for this dear lady. She has a husband who has gone blind over the last few years. He also just finished radiation therapy to get rid of his skin cancer. She also helps with the care of her sweet elderly mother. She has a daughter who struggles with emotional issues and has attempted suicide a few times in the last five years.
Jane also has a son who was hit on his motorcycle 10 weeks ago and has so many broken bones that he can't take care of himself. She has a niece. whom she helped raise, who just had a brain tumor removed and a brother who got into a bad trucking accident and needs extra help.
Jane just retired last year. It breaks my heart to see all that she is going through. I wish I had the time to make all her people quilts. I hope as she cuddles under this quilt, she will feel the love and support from so many people who love her and look up to her for all she does for her loved ones.
There is so much love in the stitches for Jane and her family.
