My parents died 11 months apart. At the time I was 60 and felt like an orphan. This was 15 years ago and I still miss them both. However, I have good memories and often talk to them when alone in my quilting room. Dad's mother was a quilter and piqued my interest in quilting when I was about 8. I have said to my mother's sister (92), I wish Mom could see my quilts. She would be proud, I think.
