A kind of kindness and love

Today i got a mysterious parcel from Ireland from a person called Edel.
When i came home my husband said there was a parcel with cushions from Edel from Ireland.
The only Edel I know is @Edel from this group as i saw some craft she sended to @roots (like a little notebook,etc.)
I was thinking that i was expecting 2 parcels one from the light it up swap and one from the color swap but not with @Edel
This was in the parcel

2 lovely cushions with marvellous quotes

A beautiful card with also a very nice quote

Till then i didn’t understand why i got that parcel until i read the card.
@Edel wrote these cushions were made by @roots for a swap years ago. That she didn’t dare to wash them afraid the quote would wash away (i think Nathan fixated then like i learned him to do with textile paint and markers) and that she wanted to give them to us.
That’s so kind and full of love as the cushions are (i will be carefull to wash) And the day is perfect. Every 30th of the month candles are put on in the house on for ‘kaarsjesliefde’ = 'light of love 'like @roots called it.

And My husband and I found that you should have kept them as it was his gift to you, so i’ll make you a special cushion with special fabric from @roots i still have to replace it as thank you for your lovely gesture. (just be patient as it is quiet busy with my students have exams)
Sending love
Myrthena & husband

What a lovely thing for @edel to do, but not at all uncommon, as she has also sent me and others surprise packages just when we needed a bit of kindness in our lives.

I got quite teary-eyed reading your post…to receive something unexpectedly and something made by Nathan as well. Many of us have fond memories swapping with him.

Much kindness and love to your family and of course, @edel. This really puts things in perspective for me.

What beautiful cushions sent with such a beautiful kindness. This place can often offer shelter from the chaos.

I’m so glad they got there safely. I have thought for a while that they should go back to you. It felt right. The inscriptions feel like messages from Nathan to you. @roots is missed. Xx
