Bedsheet Carrying Dreams

My husband's great-grandmother handcrafted the linen sheet on our bed, now worn soft with time.

The top part of the sheet has intricate lace added to it, a testament to her countless hours of handiwork.

Through the lace, I saw the moonlight casting its ethereal glow upon our bed.

I paused, wondering, in the depths of her dreams, my husband's great-grandmother ever fathomed that her

creation would one day envelop her great-grandson's wife, evoking thoughts of her presence. 

With a knowing smile, did she envision her great-grandchildren
 
and then Olivia and Gabriel cradled peacefully under her beautiful bedlinen?

The linen sheet guards sacred moments.

Harboring sweet secrets, veiling fears, and tenderly protecting as a shield

The moonlight bathes our bedroom, gently unveiling the sheet as if drawing back a curtain.

The nights seldom bring a chill; together, we slumber.
