Every thread in Mama's quilt told a legend. Each patch held a memory, clear as the day it occurred. As I sat beneath its warmth, Mama's voice would weave enchantment, bringing those memories to life. There were stories of love, of adventure, and even a few about secretes. With every patchwork section, Mama's voice would paint pictures in my mind, african transporting me to another era.
