I guess I am my grandmother’s favorite granddaughter.  No, my cousins are not jealous.  We are a close-knit family.  The reason why I have become the favorite is because I grew up under her care and in her old age, I have been taking care of her because our family refuses to put her in a home for the aged.

I love being with old people.  They have stories that will take you back in time.  And the best part is that these stories are their personal experiences.

Another thing I like about being with her is that I get a lot of her fabulous hand-me-downs.  These are not just ordinary stuff.  They are beautiful and very rare.

Grandma bequeathed me her bedroom furniture.  Her hardwood drawer chest goes back to the 1800s and I was even offered by a friend to buy it but I refused.

One night, as I was preparing her bedding, she drew out something from her drawer.  And then I saw some of the most beautiful comforters with intricate hand-sewn designs.  I thought she just wanted me to change her comforter but to my surprise, she handed me all of them!

I know that grandma’s gift will go down generations.
