Meme's Memory Quilt


Book Description

Most of us go through our days not giving much thought to the intangible treasures we are creating with each passing moment. What are those treasures? Memories! Every day, in our life's journey, we are making memories. Few memories hold more value than the ones made in the presence of children, who will carry the memories of us into their future long after we are gone, and hopefully, will share them with their own children. Memories are treasures because they continue to give joy and comfort for many life spans. As they spend time with their grandchildren, grandparents are acutely aware of this treasure, believing it is a final opportunity to leave a legacy. Mémé's Memory Quilt is the loving story of a grandmother and her granddaughter and how they worked to preserve their special memories by stitching a beautiful, flower garden quilt. In the process, they made more memories while forming a lasting bond forever etched in a young woman's heart. We hope you will be inspired to find a way to preserve your own special memories!

Chapters are interspersed with moving, first-hand accounts that span the range of human tragedy, including those from A 9/11 survivor Parents who had two children die of brain tumors A mother whose son lost a leg in a road side bomb in Afghanistan A young adult whose father committed suicide And a rape survivor.
