Every loop in Mama's quilt told a legend. Each piece held a memory, clear as the day it happened. As I lay beneath its warmth, Mama's tones would weave magic, bringing those memories to life. There were stories of kinship, of adventure, and even a few about intrigue. With every patchwork section, Mama's voice would paint pictures in my mind, transporting me to another time.
- His laughter, booming like thunder
