Today, I am remembering my nana. I remember watching her hands knit and quilt and sew. I can still picture her hands. Hands that cooked for and fed so many of us. I can remember the feeling of sitting at her kitchen table, my legs too short for my feet to touch the floor, with cousins and aunts and uncles. And I remember her voice clearly. Saying my name, sometimes after running through a list of cousins and aunts, before getting to mine. I can hear her voice saying my name, sometimes followed with a request for me to be quiet. I have a memory of laying on the floor of her living room, resting my head on Sport and looking at her. But, more than these memories I can feel her in my life and I am grateful for that. I feel her as my love for crafting grows. I'm grateful for all that she did for us. Grateful to have played Hand and Foot with her well beyond my bedtime, that I share her appetite and that she is a part of my history. Tonight, I will pull out the quilt that she and some of her daughters made for me and Zoya and I will sleep under it, thankful for her presence in our lives and that we got to be a part of her life. I love you, Nana. xo Katie
