I look at the patch on the quilt and I think of a good memory of Curtis. Curtis loved dragons by the age of thirteen. He and his friends would play Dungeons and Dragons for hours at a time. Curtis then started to buy Dragons of the Month and would spend hours painting his dragons….particularly this one. I remember when he painted it. It was about nine months before his death. He had just finished painting it and called me into his room. He said “Look, Ma! It’s a Scampy dragon!” We owned a toy poodle that had big black eyes –just like Curtis’ dragon. I will never forget him saying that and seeing the smile on his face.
