On September 17th, 2024 my Jeff had an operation and on the way home we needed to stop and get his prescriptions at the VA Salem Healthcare pharmacy curbside pick up. It was sprinkling, I was extremely nervous about his lengthy recovery time ahead…and then I saw it! Right in a tiny tree in front of where I had parked, I found a quilted heart! As he was asking what in the world I was smiling and laughing about, I jumped out and just stood there admiring it, looking around, wondering if I should take it, was it for me, or should I maybe leave it for someone else who may need that smile? I decided it was for me, and I brought it home as I told him the story behind I Found A Quilted Heart and the three sisters who started it after finding their first quilted heart. Now it hangs on a tiny lit up fake birch tree in the entrance to our home so I am able to share the sweet story behind it all.
