Like my Grandmother

I finally lost enough weight that I was able to wear the dress that I sewed for my Grandmother Wilkerson 10-12 years ago. She wore it often in the last 10 years of her life and she told me that she always received compliments on it. I too received many compliments today but what made me to most happy was that it was Grandmothers dress. I am grateful that my Aunt Cindy thought of me after Grandmothers death and returned the dress to me.

Here is a photo of me wearing the dress and a photo of Grandmother in the dress.

I remember that dress well! I'm so glad you have it back. It's nice to have mementos of the ones we love who have passed on.
