May I direct your attention to the picture on your right. I entitled it Grandma's Dolls.
In fact, my grandmother made all those dolls. Or at least the pattern and cut them out. My mother might of finished a few of them. Her pattern the 'big-eyed" dolls were her creation.
Each of the girls, whether you were a granddaughter, daughter or a great granddaughter has one of those dolls. This past Christmas, my mother wanted us to have one group picture with us and 'our' doll. Mine dates back to when I was a little girl. My mother has had hers for years too.
She is one of 6 girls growing up and they all have a doll. Just a piece of legacy to remember you are in a family who cares!! We had a blast taking the picture. Quite an accomplishment to get everyone including little people to look one direction. So, what do you have in your family that is an legacy??? When I look at my doll and her cute clothes, I can think of a grandmother who gave birth to my mother and who in return gave birth to me and now to a daughter I gave birth to.

one who will take better care of my doll who has no name.
You just never know what a day is going to bring, and while you can't sit
around fretting about what-ifs, it would be nice if you could be prepared
in some...

What a great legacy. I'm trying to do quilts for each family member and if possible, for each grandchild. I almost have all the blocks done for the grandfather's quilt. Each block is colored by a grandchild.
