A quilt of memories

A Quilt of Memories: Remembering Sana Through Her Favorite T-Shirts Today, I received something truly special, a gift I hadn’t expected so soon: a quilt made from Sana's favorite t-shirts. Each shirt was a piece of her, a part of her daily life, and together they now form a beautiful quilt that I can wrap myself in, as if to feel her touch once again. The idea to make this quilt was suggested to me, and I’m grateful I followed through. When it came time to send the shirts, I chose carefully, picking the ones that held pieces of her routine, shirts she wore often and loved. Serena helped me cut them, as the quilt makers would use both the front and back of each shirt. The result is more beautiful than I imagined, pieced together with care, preserving little details, logos, and even labels. I found myself just holding the quilt, taking in each square as it brought back memories, realizing how this simple, stitched fabric could carry so much love and meaning. Moments like these make me reflect on the fragile nature of life. We are here for our destined time, leaving behind memories for loved ones to hold on to. Today, I’m deeply grateful to know there are people and places dedicated to preserving memories for those of us going through life’s happy and challenging times. If anyone else is considering a similar way to honor a loved one, I encourage you to check out Project Repat. They have created something that helps people like me hold on to treasured memories, and for that, I am thankful.
