I can't believe you live in Weatherford. My aunt and uncle live there. My grandparents lived there most of there adult life. I used to drive there every week end when we were kids. My uncle owns the travel agency downtown Weatherford. I would love to be able to drive to Weatherford and help you with this project. It takes about an hour or so to get there from my house. My sister is a LVN and lives in Irving (about 30 minutes from my house in Carrollton). I would love to meet you and your precious daughter. Please let me know what I can do to help. Is there a way that I can e-mail you my story and picture? I could copy it off of the quilt and we just took some pictures last weekend of the family so I just happen to have one of me. This must be a sign from God. I will be on vacation November 17th-24th but I will help after that and do what every I can. I am so excited that you live so close. Do you have a good dr there? I have a good one here and I can also ask my uncle about the drs in Ft.Worth. I also have a step-uncle who worked at Cooke Hospital in Ft Worth that might know of some good drs. Please e-mail me back as soon as possible so I can figure out what I can do before I go on vacation and what I can do when I get back.
