The day my mother passed away, my two brothers and I started tidying up the house
While sorting through her belongings, we discovered three identical old blankets, carefully folded and placed on top of the wardrobe. My brothers immediately complained: in their opinion, these old things were just useless junk that would clutter the house. But I, without really knowing why, decided to take them all.
To my great surprise, my four-year-old daughter suddenly pointed at one of them and whispered:
— Dad, look… the blanket is moving!

My mother had left one autumn morning, as quietly as an oil flame going out. All her life, she had worked tirelessly, leaving behind a half-worn house and a few objects worn by time.
In her small room, there was nothing valuable—just a chipped wooden wardrobe and those three thick, patched blankets, carefully folded by her hands. My eldest brother frowned:
— Why keep these old things?
Might as well throw them away!
The second one chimed in:
— Exactly. They’re worthless. Whoever wants them can take them; I’m not carrying trash.
I pressed my lips together before replying calmly:
— These are memories of our childhood.
