Recently, I read one acticle and I want to share with you in my page. Here is the story:
Two years ago my niece Becky was on the way to a school dance with
four of her friends. Their car hot some black ice, spun out and hit an
oncoming car. Becky was the only survivor in the car. She was in
critical condition with multiple life threatening injuries including
serious spinal injures. The family was told she would not walk again.
I needed to do something for her to show how much we were praying for her, as well as show her our love and support.
I completed the afghan except for the last 30 rows or so. On Easter
Sunday, when my entire family had gathered, the finishing of the shawl
began. All three of my daughters knit, so no problem there. But none of
our spouses or my son had ever even held knitting needles. With all of
the wives and mother hovering over them, they were give on the sport
knitting lessons. The four grandchildren sat on mommy’s lap and took
turns knitting, with help. Everyone knit a few rows and as they knit,
silent prayers for Becky were said.
The youngest grandchild 1 year old, gave the afghan snuggles and hugs.
The following day I wrapped it and sent it off to Becky at the
hospital.
After a long rehab time and against the odds, Becky is again
walking without aids, driving and attending a technical school. No one
would ever know that she had been in such a serious accident. I like to
think that all the love and prayers that were knit into the Prayer
Afghan helped with her recovery. |
