You will notice I said the flowers I brought home. Most of the flowers were gifted to worthy places by family members who attended. The problem I would have had in rehoming a quilt is that it is one more task when there is so much I have had to do and the guilt I would have felt to rehome a quilt given by friends that was meant to be a remembrance of my husband. I felt a knife jab when you said you imagine everything in my house is a reminder with the implication that why would a quilt be any different. I don’t think I need to justify my feelings. I said up front that I know others feel differently. I only suggested it might be a good idea to ask if a quilt would be okay. I too have lost a father, but losing my husband has been a very different experience.
