For Brittany and Ian's Child

For another Donna

My grandmother's name was Donna - a gentle, loving woman, she was the kind of person who was magical with children and often forgot to bring the bread rolls from the oven to the table. It was easy to love her. It came naturally. I always thought that I'd name my daughter after her... but my cousin beat me to it. Their 3 months to be born little girl has been named Donna Esre. Little Donna will have a big legacy to live up to.
We'll see if it runs in the genes.

It was a bittersweet time to make a quilt for her - but really it makes one glad simply because we know that Grandma would have been delighted - and honored - at this small life soon to enter into the world.
