Unfathomable Gifts�.

With the Summer Series in Pennsylvania over � and finally being back on my own �turf�, in my own bed � familiar sounds of washing machine, dish washer, icemaker in the fridge clunking away as it drops ice into the hopper every once in a while, all of the stress of the past month-plus (that I thought I was handling rather well) is hitting me.

In the chaos of the past several weeks, there are many things that were forgotten, overlooked, in one ear and out the other, should have written this down, assumed there would be a note, pieces falling through the cracks�

I was doing my best to hold it all together, shooting for some semblance of normalcy when the winds of far away family and the grief of Mark�s passing-to-come were shoved back and compartmentalized.

I received several remarkable gifts in Pennsylvania � but this one thing, this one thing�I didn�t discover until I unpacked the box on Tuesday morning, after waking to the news that Mark had indeed slipped away.

A HUGE box � full of linens, blue mason jars, Hoosier jars, pottery vases � and in the bottom of the box, folded and protected inside a vintage embroidered pillow case was this quilt.

Where is the name on the box? How can I contact the giver to thank her once again?
