A Mom's message on custom quilt to daughter

Every one of our custom quilts is special but some quilts are especially touching.

Finished sewing photos onto white quilt blocks this weekend so a Mom with stage 4 breast cancer can make her first quilt for her daughter.

The quilt will be very special on its own, but Mom added the following, which we printed on a quilt block with a picture of Mom and daughter:

A little girl, a little small for her age               
A little too slow for the field day race                                       
Momma's waiting at the finish line                        
And wipes the teardrops from her eyes                 
She says, "You did just fine honey, that's okay                       
"Sometimes life's just that way   
"You're gonna lose the race from time to time
"But You're always gonna find
"You can't lose me, bet your life
"I am here and I will always be
"Just a wish away, wherever you go
"No matter how far, my love is where you are
"You won't be lost if you believe
"You can't lose me"

I lost my mother a few years ago. I feel closer to her today.
