Earlier today, while sitting on a garden wall in front of the Lancaster City Visitor Center, I noticed what I thought was a baby’s ‘blankie’ of some kind lying on the other end of wall. Fearing it was accidentally left behind, I figured I’d just hang it up on a nearby tree branch, so it would be easier to see/find should the rightful owner return to come look for it. It was at this point that I noticed the IFAQH / “I need a home” tag and website. While curiosity may have killed the cat, this one got the best of me; so, after hanging the quilt on the branch, I sat back down and visited the website, with every intention of leaving it there in the tree. Of course, after reading about IFAQH, I soon came to the realization that this quilted heart was created just for me and because I was loved. Needless to say, I removed ‘my’ quilted heart from the branch on which I had hung it and brought it back to its new home.
On a personal note, this gesture simply could not have come at a better (or should I say ‘worse’) time for me. Unfortunately, I’m really not in a good place in my life right now, and I cannot put into words how obliged I am to have been gifted this quilted heart at this time. I suppose this is the Universe’s way of helping me when I need it most, reminding me how truly loved I am.
To everyone involved in IFAQH, especially the individual who quilted this heart for me, thank you and best of luck in life and love to you and yours.
