My story about it:

My dear grandmother, Titi, made our entire childhood beautiful; she is very good with kids, she was a teacher. After my grandfather’s death it was sad to see her lose her meaning in life. We were all very happy to convince her to sew a mouse for everyone, like the ones she made in our childhood. At first she was reluctant, saying that the pattern was lost, but eventually she provided the family with nice little mice. This one is my favorite; she crocheted him a beautiful dress too (if it wasn’t for her bad eyesight, I would have asked for one in my size too). It has been difficult for her ever since; I feel sorry for her, but I am still happy that she is here for us.
