An Afghan For Isaac

I frequently cruise the web, looking for articles on individuals with Down syndrome and their families.  On one such day, I came across an article about Isaac Watson on the Einstein Syndrome website.  The article explained how Isaac became a member of his family and announced their loss when Isaac went to meet Jesus.

I immediately contacted the family and offered to send them a memorial afghan.  Barbara, Isaac's mother, accepted my offer.  Her goal is to share the afghan with a new member of the Down syndrome community when the time presents itself.  For now, they are simply holding onto a piece of love from afar.

A few days ago, his family celebrated his ninth birthday, the first since they lost Isaac.  His mother sent me the following pictures with the afghan.

 

  

This family has an amazing faith in God.  I admire their strength and dedication, both in Isaac's life and in his passing.

I hope the afghan brings them a bit of peace, as well as the family which receives it from them.
