Finished Piece Snowflower Diaries

luckygurl13

I found this pattern shortly after my father passed away suddenly in October.

It took almost 7 months to finish. As I started stitching it in the early days of my grief, I cried a lot while stitching. I messed up stitches and had to pull them out to rework that section again.

It was a hard piece to complete. But now I have. At the end I was still crying, but the tears have changed. It was not like the beginning, that horrible gutted-soul sobbing of loss (the kind that has always made my children cry to see me do it), where I could only work for short periods of time. In the end of it, months later, I stitched in peace. I would think of Daddy, but with the misty tears of happier days coming to mind. Even as I type this Im a smidgen weepy.

I think I have literally worked through my grief.
