I am SO LUCKY!!!

This past Thursday at the school we were having rehursals for the winter program with the kids in grade 1 - 8. I was sitting in my room talking to a parent when Dan (the administrator) came in and said "we need you in the gym." Figuring it was to help monitor the kids (who tend to get a bit wiggly during rehursals) I go down....only to realize EVERYONE in the school was in there. OK, so sometimes I recall the kids in Children's House (which is the Montessori "pre-school") so not that unusual...until it hits me that they are all looking at ME. Hmmm...what is going on??

Denise was standing at the front of the gym with Dan holding a large bag. Inside it contained the most beautiful quilt that Denise and Sally had created....with the help from the kids! I can't even begin to explain how wonderful it is!! And did I start crying? Of course I did! LOL After Denise gave her little speech....I had the honor of getting a grup hug from ALL of the children!

I am still speechless! There are photos of the kids from the school, photos of me, Snickers and my family! The kids at the school and staff signed it! There are no words to describe what it means to me!!

Pictures are the only way to explain it!

The quilt is full of pictures of the students and staff!

 

 Isn't to AMAZING???

I can't that everyone at MRS enough! Not only for this wonderful quilt....but for the never ending support and friendship! Kathy for helping me get my bandanna on each morning, Sally for the never ending supply of dinners and friendship. The kids for their constant hugs and keeping me smiling. Dina for just being Dina. Especially Char and Dan who have to deal with "me!" You guys know what I mean! And of course every single other person I have the honor of working with at the school. You guys have made the treatments and "other stuff" so much easier to tolerate!!
