Eagle Hoodie = Memory Pillow
A very dear friend of ours just lost her boyfriend/fiancé and companion of over 18 years. He was a good guy with a goofy sense of humor. A veteran that served in Vietnam in the U.S. Army as a Combat Infantryman with the 101st Airborne Division “Screaming Eagles”, he was very proud of that. We considered him a good friend, and we will all miss him very much.
Eagle Hoodie = Memory Pillow?
Eagle Hoodie
She asked me if I would make a pillow from this eagle hoodie. She wanted the pouch pockets intact so that she could warm her hands while hugging the pillow. Hmm. Yes, of course we could make it. I hopped online to see what kind of pillow forms were available and promptly ordered a 14 x 28 one. It came in the mail and this is the finished product:
It is slightly wider than it should be but it had to be to maintain the pouch pocket. I put a small zipper in the side seam so that the hoodie can be taken off and washed. The pillow form also has a light cotton covering that can be removed as well. I don’t know if it is a fitting memory of Das, but he is not the kind of man that will ever leave our heart. Rest in peace, my friend. Salute.

Thank you for this. He can still warm my hands while I give him hugs. And thank you for your kind words. He always thought of the two of you as special friends. This makes missing him each day a little easier.
