I love my Dad, as sometimes he just has the best ideas, like tonight. Mom asked me if I was going to send a card to them, as I had done after the Wedding, and I told her I'm planning on it. Many here don't know, but for close to 20 yrs now (Eeeekkk!! Hard to believe it!!) I've 1st crocheted and now that I have learned how to knit over the years, have also added knitted items to the sizeable (Think Garbage Bags full just due to location and other factors) donations of clothing, blankets, buntings and, sadly, clothing used for burial of the little Angels who do not make it, to my local Neo Natal ICU. Mom thought I should send along the Full Term sweater and booties set I literally just finished crocheting this past weekend, as it was the first time for this pattern to be made. I put a stop to that idea, as how many other hand made sets like that will be sent as a gift for the little HRH?
That's when Dad asks, "You've tot a bunch of stuff ready to go over, right?" Which w/fhe exception of one blanket that needs the border of it finished since this time last year thanks to that particular yarn never being in stock, '*grinds teeth in frustration*, I do have yet another pretty big bag of things to be sent over to Sudbury. After hearing that, Dad suggested,"Well then...Just do a note for the nurses explaining this time, you're donating in the name of the little Prince in order to mark the lil guy's arrival and then do a letter to tuck into the card letting William and Kate know about it."
As I said, there really are times when he has the best ideas. I love it and it really is perfect.and exactly what the Cambridges suggested, do something for charity to mark the safe and healthy birth of not only a Prince of Cambridge, not only a Prince of the UK, but also a Prince of Canada. Anyway, i just wanted to share my Dad's suggestion. Considering he's not at all well and has Early On Set Dementia that is really showing it's effects the last few months....
Yeah.
. It hasn't won yet though, so yay for Dad having one of his best days in awhile today and enjoy it all w/Om and me!!
You know...This evening I seem to wondering how Jacthina Saldana's Family is doing and coping. Yes, of course they knew today was coming obviously, but it's still got to be bittersweet.
Sigh..what a couple of days for us Royal fans, huh? First all of the events in Belgium w/King Albert II abdicating and King Philippe's Instillation as Monarch. Then the safe and healthy birth of little Prince Cambridge and a healthy Mum at the end of it all...
It does not get much better than this Everyone. What a Historic and Special couple of days these have been.
And on that note, there's a bed over in the next room that's got my name on it and also calling my name, so I think I need to literally go and crash into it. It's been fun sharing this special day w/all of you!! Talk to you sometime tomorrow when it sounds like we'll very well be talking about a certain picture taken at the door of The Lindo Wing.
