Shhh... Don't tell... I'm the stoic one...
Having lost my grandparents and Dad fairly young - mother had long since taken off - I just wish that I had something that was "of them." Not just something they owned, but something that really connected me to them. My grandmother quilted and crocheted, but nobody thought to keep any of it - just pitched/sold it all! Now, I wonder if that is why I do crafts - so that someday DD's will have something I made. Right now, neither of them care for it at all :roll:
