Girl With The Patchwork Dress

It wasn’t always a patchwork dress. In the beginning it was pink with tiny little white polka dots but now, there was no sign of the original dress as it had been patched so many times. The original was completely covered.
To the girl, each tiny square symbolized her mothers’ love. Painstakingly sewn with precision and care. Her mother had mended every hole, tended to every tear, and covered every rip with her needle and thread and the material from dresses of her own. And she knew that her mother did it without resentment or regrets and would continue to do so until all the dresses in her closet were thread bare and no longer of use.
And the knowledge of this was her mother’s greatest gift.
