A Name on the Quilt

　　Lauren misses the feeling of Uncle Ron's hand in hers as they skated across the ice together. She misses visiting Uncle Ron and Michael's kitchen, which was the only place where she got snacks in china bowls and juice in glasses that could break. Now several months have passed since Uncle Ron died, and Lauren's family and Ron's friends are making a quilt panel in his memory. And later, after they all dance together, Lauren will wrap the quilt panel around her the way Uncle Ron used to wrap her in his arms, and she will always remember.
