A Pillow Case For Mildred

Mildred is my step-mother whom over the years has become quite near and dear to me.  It finally dawned on me that she dragged a special pillow with her every place she traveled, because she has terrible back pain, and needs her own pillow.  The problem was the pillow case was so blah.  And she is so special.  Always has some special outfit on, and she is very petite and has her hair done every single Saturday unless she is quite ill; and she isn't ill that often.  

Mildred works for a couple of charities, and she works hard.  I love her for that, and I love her for taking such good care of my father, all the final years of his life.  The last years weren't fun.  He was losing he touch with reality, and she was basically on her own with him in Florida while I was working to support my  daughter 
Rebecca, the light of my life.  She really worked hard and no one ever really knew how hard until she had a huge heart attack of her own.  Poor thing, she is OK now, but she sure deserves my love, thanks, and prayers.  As well as a pretty cover for her special pillow...  She does love it, too.
