My own mother<br />"Yama" passed away just shy of her 90th birthday last year...Mother's Day was tougher <br />than I thought it would be. Years earlier she had my brother bring to the nursing home one<br />of her many sewing boxes for me to take home. Having received many such boxes I didn't<br />think anything of it. Included was a pin cushion she hand made. When my youngest was<br />preparing for her 15th birthday that involves a special mass in her honor, we discovered my<br />mother's religious medal pinned onto her pin cushion. My daughter chose to wear her<br />Nana's medal as part of the church ceremony. I noticed Iris kept her medal this way too.<br /> Bye, D in RBAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4693014680828362160.post-14018652636446388022013-03-23T21:03:44.381-05:002013-03-23T21:03:44.381-05:00Hi Deb!

Never saw the sewing room or allowed near it until she was gone. I wish so that she would have let someone in to learn more about her things and what she hoped for them. And maybe to learn a trick or two! Always fun to see the forbidden zone!Kelly Clinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12675645437495996459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4693014680828362160.post-23951104386797746372013-03-14T15:17:52.135-05:002013-03-14T15:17:52.135-05:00I love the painting and the pincushion!

Plus her room ain't so bad (I've seen worse...) - but the "will make your eggs bad" comment is priceless.
