But the last year of her life she brought out and gave me 18 dresden plate blocks, and the pieces for the other two, and said she had made those while she was carrying me. So I do have something from her.
    Those 18 dresden plate blocks are precious especially because she made them while pregnant with you. I'm sorry you were so young when you lost her mother. Thank you for sharing a precious memory. Natalie
