Grandma Elsie

Today we drive to Minot, ND to join the rest of the extended family in celebrating grandma Elsie's 90th birthday last month. As part of a group gift to her, we all made pages for a memory book. The photo below is one of the ones I included, and what follows is the text I added to the page.


Grandma,

You’ve always covered me with love. First it was a quilt with nursery characters to delight a young child. Then, when I graduated from high school, you made me a quilt sewn out of memories to take with me as I left home. Now you send me notes and scraps of news from the fabric of your life so I can have something in my mailbox and feel like I’m not so far from home after all. Thank you for your love and all the reminders of it.

Love,

Kim
