My grandmother and my youngest son…but this is really about her hands and my memories of them and how they have changed. If I think of her, I think of her hands.Meredith Fenwick's Sweet Notions @ Easy Peasy Folded Corner Template #6 by Karah Fredricks @ Buttons & String by Meredith Fenwick @Vera Lim stitching @Kim Christensen circle stitching @Karah Fredricks buttons @DJB A Bit of Flaire font by Darcy Baldwin @ Miss Mint straight pin @Traci Murphy shadows<p>Journaling reads:These hands, covered in age spots, beginningto knarl, scared by surgery, thick with veins,are one of the things I identify with mygrandmother - they are the feature about herthat I think of first. I’ve always been fascinatedby her hands, and as a child, I thought it wasa marvel when I could make the veins pop upon my hand the way they were on hers byleaning with all my weight on my hand proppedup on the bathtub. These were the hands Iwould watch cook in the kitchen when I wouldgo to during the summers. These are the handsthat would proudly present me with the cookie boxevery Christmas Eve when we would arrive. Theseare the hands that faithfully do the crossword puz-zles every night. These are the hands that stillreach over and pat me for assurance whenever we’retogether. They are adorned with a diamond & rubyring, her wedding band and now grandpa’s wedding band,and a pinkie ring with the letters CWJ cut out. Theyare never without a perfect manicure. These arethe hands that can no longer produce her beautifulscript using her gold pen without a tremor in it.These are the hands of my grandmother
