Determined to move on, she opened the cupboard to discard the clothes. But…there it was, still fresh in ‘his’ clothes, his perfume.

She looked at the bare walls of her house and sighed. The pastel colours were beautiful but she missed the drawings made by the little hands on them.

Delicate frills on baby’s frocks and warm booties on little one’s feet.

The unfinished pullover occupies a small space in my cupboard. The yarn and needles are still stuck to it. The warmth in it still intact.
The day it was left unfinished forever, by Grandma,was the day I realised the value of ‘handmade love’ over readymades.

“The place where we live”, said the pupils.
“And what makes a home?” asked the teacher. Some said concrete while others said the family.
