“She Discovered a Hidden Legacy in Her Father’s Shirt—What Happened Next Will Shock You!”
But Diez didn’t always feel this way. The mother and Oregon resident had a hard life for ten years before she finally found a way to turn it around.
A Family Death Pulverized Her Life
After a long battle with cancer, Diez’s father passed away in 2006. The loss wrecked Diez. She did not know how to process it, and she found herself clinging to his old belongings. In particular, Diez kept her father’s button-up shirts which he always wore.
Diez and her siblings each inherited some of her father’s belongings, and they moved on with their lives. But she had no idea what the shirts would give her ten years in the future.
Over The Years, His Shirts Haunted Her
For years, Diez carried around her father’s shirts. She transported them from home to home in her resident state of Oregon. Meanwhile, her daughter grew into a beautiful teenager and Diez’s life moved forward.
But still, she could not part with the shirts. Diez had no idea what to do with them, so she tucked them away in the recesses of her closet. But she couldn’t keep them there forever; what would she do with her father’s old shirts?
Planning An Anniversary Gift
In 2016, Diez honored the ten-year anniversary of her father’s passing. She finally pulled out her father’s button-up shirts and reevaluated what to do with them. That’s when she got an idea: she would transform the shirts into a quilt to give to her mother and siblings.
