My father had a red and white quilt that his grandmother made for him, it may have been a bears paw pattern. Well, mom and dad divorced when I was 7 and the quilt was left behind somehow. I slept with it every night thinking somehow it would bring daddy back. He did come back when I was 21 and by that time I no longer really cared...he's been gone to much of my life. When he passed on, his sister got the quilt.
