Chapter 26 - The purple unicorn shirt

Lily kept the shirt she wore that day for almost two years.
Even after it became too small.
I found it in a drawer.
“Why keep this?”
She shrugged.
“Don’t know.”
Her therapist suggested we let Lily decide.
Eventually she cut a square from the fabric.
We used it as part of a quilt containing pieces from:
Old school clothes.
Claire’s scarf.
A baby blanket.
The purple unicorn became one small square.
Not the whole blanket.
I liked that.

What happened with Marlene became one part of Lily’s childhood.
Not its definition.
