Mama's Quilt Stories
Every thread in Mama's quilt told a story. Each piece held a memory, clear as the day it took place. As I lay beneath its warmth, Mama's voice would weave magic, bringing those memories to life. There were stories of kinship, of exploration, and even a few about mystery. With every quilt block, Mama's voice would paint pictures in my mind, transporting me to another time.
- His laughter, booming like thunder
