Such a lovely story Jacque and Irene. I was wearing my mother’s cashmere cardigan just last night with her name stamped in the back from her nursing facility where she passed away last year.

I was her caregiver for eight years visiting daily. I feel she is wrapped around me when I where it.

Thank you for sharing your memories of your grandpa, his beautiful spirit … and enduring magical shirt! I too grew up staying with my grandparents on their farm. Your story took me back there 🥹

I wear a cream wool cardigan that my grandmother’s priest brought to her from Ireland, it’s gotta be 40, 50 years old… who knows! It’s a little too tight and quite scratchy but feels like 💜

Right? I have so few family members living nearby so that aspect of her childhood is like a dream :').
