I left crocheting behind when I was a young woman. Too busy to be bothered. But when my daughter Lily died &#8211; my mother put the hooks back in my hands. I ran yarn through my fingers and moved that hook back and forth for two years and made everything I could. When my rage had burnt itself up, I put my hooks away and didn\u2019t crochet. A few days ago I heard them calling. It is the season of Lily\u2019s life now and I am called back &#8211; to remember her as I move the hook back and forth, as the yarn slips thru my fingers.  Thanks mom for this gift. And thank you to my nanny and my aunties who I sense around me now.  This is how I choose to remember all of you. With rhythm. With quiet. With creativity. I miss all of you.  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/hashtag\/houstondoula\">#houstondoula<\/a>  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/hashtag\/laborenabler\">#laborenabler<\/a>  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/hashtag\/rebelbirth\">#rebelbirth<\/a>  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/hashtag\/crochet\">#crochet<\/a>  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/hashtag\/livingwithgrief\">#livingwithgrief<\/a>  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/hashtag\/carrytheweight\">#carrytheweight<\/a>  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/hashtag\/lilylilylily\">#lilylilylily<\/a>  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/hashtag\/sayhername\">#sayhername<\/a>  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/hashtag\/lilyseason\">#lilyseason<\/a>  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/hashtag\/missmyaunts\">#missmyaunts<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/LaborEnabler\/photos\/a.156853424352128.30716.115084845195653\/1752265394810915\/?type=3\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp_automatic_fb_img\" title=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/scontent.xx.fbcdn.net\/v\/t1.0-9\/p720x720\/37784614_1752265398144248_1005165472754171904_o.jpg?_nc_cat=0&#038;oh=0f4b98904ef760715ae389cb4869ec6b&#038;oe=5BD55B2D\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/115084845195653\/posts\/1752265394810915\">Source<\/a>  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] Every woman in my family has crocheted.
