- My Mothers Point of View:
- My mother remembers this blanket sitting on her from the time she was young, all the way until she left for university. When she thinks back on what the blanket means to her, stability is what comes to her mind. Even when she redecorated her room, that blanket always sat on her bed. She never got to meet her grandmother as she died right before she was born, but her grandmother made the blanket even before she knew her, and that means something to my mother. My mother recalls tracing the nursery rhymes with her finger, and one time she remembers redrawing Little Miss Muffet.
