The beginning of 2021 started out with Carl continuing to be cared for in a nursing facility with the COVID pandemic still in control. No inside visits until May and then they were short-lived with the doors closing again to visitors in August. Then the day that completely changed life for me was August 28. That was the day I received a call from the facility that Carl had started his next life with Heavenly Father.
The 32 years that I had with Carl were filled with ups and downs just like every other relationship but I think the ups came out on top. He supported me in anything I wanted to do and loved to be included in all things but enjoyed my quilting the most. He had a great eye for color and often helped pick out the fabric while shopping and of course, he picked out the colors of my favorite quilt. He often joked with others when telling about our vacations that they were 'quiltcations' instead of 'vacations'. I am glad he is no longer in pain, but boy do I miss him! I have no idea where this picture was taken but it was one of his better ones in these last years.
'Till we meet again,
Love you, Sharon
