A good evening with friends, and at the end…Huh. I checked my purse.

I hadn’t put it in there.

We got home and I sent off a note to the owner of the restaurant, describing the handknit hat in detail, the cable around the brim with a seam at the back, the stitches going up from there with no seam. Saying that if someone found it and treasures it and that’s where it is to be now, I will be glad they have it–and yet. It is a twinge.

I don’t normally knit cotton because it hurts my hands to work with, but I had this time as a chemo cap for my late mother-in-law. It was such a plain yarn but it had come out so pretty–I had been surprised, and pleased for her sake. In the end, it had come back to me now, and I had kept it as a memento of her.

….And now I put it to God. There is something very freeing about that. He knows better than I where it could do the most good.

That’s the same attitude my mother had years ago when too late she discovered that the boots she had given to my Dad to donate to the homeless shelter contained the $900 she had spent ten years saving to have a built-in cupboard constructed in her kitchen. I’m not sure I would have recovered so easily. I hope I would but I don’t know.

Pardon me, but I’m still hoping you get a call from the restaurant…
