My prayer shawl
Created By: Kunni Biener
To explain, several years ago, my cousin was stationed in Hawaii, her husband out to sea, when her brother was in a horrible accident. I couldn't be there for her, so I sat up that night, crocheted a prayer shawl (fortunately always have a stash of Homespun on hand) and sent it to her by overnight delivery. Here is what she wrote to me:
An Honor
Hi Sweetie - know you talked to Ern last night. Sorry, but I'm not really
up to talking to folks yet. Wanted to tell you about this really cool
thing.
As you know, after I received your beautiful shawl and cuddled in it I sent
it to Gail (Eric's mom) at the hospital. She loved it and received lots of
good feelings from wrapping up in it. When Eric died, she asked his Dad
(Lee) to take it back to Stephanie (wife), which he did. When Ern and I
were visiting there the night before the funeral, Lee told me he wanted to
wrap Eric's urn in the shawl and did I think that would be OK. I told him
that anything they wanted to do with it would be OK and that Kunni would be
happy her labor of love had a role to play.
At the graveside service, the urn was sitting on your shawl and when it came
time to bury it, Eric's mom, dad, sister and my dad all took a side of the
shawl and lowered it into the ground. On one hand, I hated to see that
beautiful thing go into the earth, but on the other, I love the thought of
Eric being wrapped up in it.
Thank you so much for your kindness and love.
