Hi Darlene loved seeing all your wips and finishes. Beautiful work! Singing with your Mom is a Blessing, cherish those moments. Thank you for sharing and Happy New Year! đđ
I emailed you. Thank you so very much. So sorry about your Mom. It is so hard on the families. Wonderful that you could experience her singing. Nice video. Happy New Year.
There is no need to apologize. Our emotions pour out of us sometimes when we least expect it. I think it is priceless to get to hear her sing, which I am sure you do as well. Lovely finish on the fox ornament. Fabulous starts! I tried my hardest to finish Berries in Bloom on New Year's Eve day but did not quite make it. I did finish stitching on New Year's Day but have not fully finished it yet. Today we are getting snow here so I am working on So Much Snow. I am getting close to a finish.
Love your stitching! Hope your son stays safe. You never have to apologise for crying. It's very difficult to watch your parents decline. Especially around the holidays. It brings back memories of the better times. It's good that you have your sister to share it all with. â€
Thank you for the video and Happy New Year to you and your family. What a beautiful selection of starts for the beginning of your ambitious 60 starts đ. Holy smokes what a jump for your son but a great opportunity for sure. Please do not ever apologize for showing your emotions many of us know the situation and many of us are experiencing or have experienced this with our families as well. My ex mother in law worked in a day facility with dementia patients and one of her activities was to to sing and play the piano with them since she was an LPN, piano and voice teacher worked out perfectly and she said the patients would sing with her for hours. So sing, sing and sing with your mom hymns, oldies Christmas carols.
Please donât apologize for getting emotional. Iâm glad you had a nice visit with your mom. I love all of your projects! You are so talented! Iâm looking forward to seeing your projects progress over the next year. Take care and hugs!
I was just reading about Alert. That is quite the adventure. One of our daughters worked in South Sudan...it was hard on my mother heart. †Loving all your new projects.
Donât apologize for your tears. I canât imagine how hard it is to see your mom like that. Your tears just show your love for her. God bless you and your mom. Iâm glad you and your sister are so close.
I had tears with you when you talked about your mom, I lost my mama 2017 and I miss her so much every day. Bless your heart. This is the first video I watched of yours.
Wonderful to see all your projects and starts - I need to do more Christmas ornaments! Really pleased you are joining Sarah and I with our adventure but obviously with a few extra starts lol. Your Son sounds like he has the opportunity of a lifetime! It is going to be amazing for him and his 8 weeks when he is home should hopefully be good quality time he can spend with you and his family. I'm pleased your Mum had a good sing on Christmas day - music is good for the soul and it is wonderful you can find a way of connecting with her at this time in her life as there must be some dark days. Big hugs and happy stitching xx
Lovely finishes. Thank you for sharing about your mom. Sadly, many have the same challenges. Your son is on quite the adventure! Happy new year, friend đ
It is ok to show your emotions. It is very difficult to see your parents change and age. I'll keep you in my prayers. You have lots of lovely stitching to look forward to in 2024.Have a great year and I wish you get some snow!!
Please don't apologize for your tears. I am glad you had a great Christmas visit with your mom. My mom also suffered from dementia, she didn't get to the point where she didn't know me, so I am thankful for that. Sadly, I lost her in September, this Christmas was a difficult one for me. I know that she is watching me from above, with the rest of the family!
Darlene, you never need to apologize for being yourself and showing emotion. I cried along with you. Dementia is an awful thing. What a blessing and a gift to be able to sing with your mom, though, those beautiful Christmas carols..and to be taken back to a time when she was herself. Iâm sorry you are all going through this hard journey â€ïž As far as your sonâs âadventureâ, Iâd be a basket case mom! But I hope he makes good memories đ Take care of yourself..Suzette
Great video Christmas is often a hard time for families how wonderful that your mum sings,cudos to your son a brave man the North Pole!,your friends gifts were lovely,love and hugs to you and your sister and family,Thankyou for sharing â€ïžđłđżđȘĄ
Do not apologize for crying. My mom had dementia, multi=infarct dementia. She would have tiny strokes occasionally that robbed her of her memory. I took care of my mom, made her last year or so of her life pleasant. We did what she wanted, new clothes, travel, and out to eat all the time. We knew that her time was limited, but she had one last large bleed, and passed away about 4 days later. I couldn't talk, I couldn't stop crying, and I missed her so much. But now, 20 years later, I think of her with joy and laughter. Enjoy the moments you have with your mom, because you will remember these days with the same joy I feel now. Your mom will be in my prayers. Be well, enjoy your stitching, and I will see you next ttime.
Dearest Darlene - Please don't apologize for your tears - My Mom also suffered from dementia and it is indeed the long goodbye - you lose them before they are ever gone but you cherish the good moments â€
Yes, thanks for the mention. I am the "dreamer" who thinks she can do 80 starts for my 80th birthday. Unfortunately, 2 weeks before Christmas I tested positive for the RSV virus. It is very nasty for anyone over 60, but even worse when you have underlying lung problems (asthma and pulmonary fibrosis). I am still sick, coughing all the time, and extreme fatigue. The projects are gathered together and ready to go. I'm not worried, because once I start stitching, I will be able to catch up to my goal.
Hi Darlene, don't worry about the tears. We all have things in life that make us emotional, I can't talk about Aaron without becoming a mess. Beautiful stitching as always. I hope your son enjoys his new job, but I'm with you I wouldn't want Aaron going there either.
Darlene, everyone can understand why the tears and itâs totally a normal reaction. Hugs cos alz is so hard. Mums lung cancer went to her brain and it gave her alz symptoms,definitely hard, she stopped talking altogether before she passed. I also worked in long term care and often in alz units. Oh Darlene hugs Never apologize for emotionsâ€â€. Where are you getting your fabric? Stitch bug or online? Oh I like the santas, I will have to look in my magazines. I canât even imagine 80! 60 is a lot.oh my just turned 67 so lord 70 in 3 yrs. Hahaha yea donât think so unless ornaments and even then no. Oh the colours in the tree skirts are amazing, such rich jewel colours! Beautiful job! Oh the runner is pretty too! So gorgeous! Like the prim fallish colours. Oh I need that tape measure! Oh man my husband was stationed in Alert for 2 tours 6 months each. Wow! 8 wks isnât too bad, just the travel to get there! What an adventure for him. He wonât be allowed outside much. Hubby would have to fix electronic stuff and they were allowed out 10 mins at a time. Is it only the one time or a yr tour etc?
I love all your starts! Iâve decided to start many things so I can just pick them up and go. I heard you call my name so I messaged you on Instagram. Thank you so much!

Prayers for you and your family! Thank goodness that cross stitching keeps us sane! So happy to have found your channel,

And many hugs for you too. Dementia sucks. You have to hang on to any happy memories and enjoy nice times in the moment.
