I found this quilted heart the other day while on a trail walk with my husband in Gatlinburg, TN. We were on a trip celebrating our 20 yr anniversary. We had a great trip! Before we left for our trip my 96 yr old Grandma found herself in the hospital again. She’s been very healthy for years but has dementia. We found out that her aorta artery is tearing away from her heart. She’s a fighter though and out lived all of her 12 siblings. She is now home on hospice but doing well. I was hesitant to go on the trip because I was worried that she might pass away while I was gone. On our walk I also saw two cardinals. After finding this heart I feel like the cardinals were my Dad and my Grandpa. The heart felt like a hug from an angel. While I don’t know how much longer my Grandma will be here, I will cherish every moment I have with her.
