Because so many of you have been kind enough to ask about her, I wanted to share my correspondence with Beautiful Daughter with you.
EMAIL FROM ME: July 21, 2015: How is your mother’s condition? Your life?
Dear Xxxxx,
I think of you often and wonder how your mother fared over the winter, if she is still alive. And how are you doing with caring for your brother and her?
Are you still in Xxxxx?
Were you able to continue with your studies or have you suspended them for a while? My studio is wonderful and I will start shooting new videos very soon. Thank you again for your generous help in getting it built. The space feels bursting with the generosity of so many people. It sings.
I think of you often, send you a blessing each time, and wonder how you are.
Warm regards,
Cheryl
EMAIL FROM BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER: August 24, 2015 Re: How is your mother’s condition? Your life?
Hey Cheryl,
Sadly my mom has passed away last month, she couldn’t handle the chemotherapy anymore, so she went downhill fast.
I am still staying in our home but the government have taken over our care and are our guardians now since we are still minors.
Happy to say that i have passed the year in university and have registered my brother in a new school.
I am glad to hear that it went so great for you and your studio, your afghan made a lot of difference during winter and summer.
Best regards.

Dear Xxxxx,
I’m sorry to hear this news even though I expected it. You must be feeling very sad, tired and a bit lost.
I’m glad to hear that the government has taken over your guardianship and especially happy that you were able to pass the year in university. And I hope your brother thrives in his new school.
I recently finished The Beautiful Daughter Afghan pattern and sent it to everyone on my newsletter list. One woman wrote me to say she had made one for her local hospice, so your gift, and the gift of your mother, lives on, comforting more people.
