It is common knowledge for those family and friends in Facebook that my sister Carla (Lalay to family) has flourished from a home craft hobbyist into a serious "mananahi" of bags, buntings, pillows and other stuff like this IPad case shown here.
And being the oldest of the 3 sisters, I have priority rights to "request" her to make me my own bag or craft that I fancy. One of those "requests" is the sleeve bag below for my Tablet.
But when I saw the 3rd picture of a hand (see below) modelling the IPad case, I did a double take and looked at it closely and told Lalay that it looked like Kibs hand rather than her hand. It was kind of weird for me as I always know this positioning of the hand when it came to Kibs. This to me really looked like Kibs's hand!
Kibs is an avid book reader and could just sit in one corner and silently read through a book and comprehend it so thoroughly in just one sitting. When you see him walking around, it is usually with a book in hand and that is how his hand is always positioned when he carries his book. Hence this picture of Lalay holding this case just gives my mind the picture of it being Kibs hand holding a book. Lalay also tells me that this is how our Nanay's hands look like too.
So much as this seems like a trifle topic of hands... it is of significance to me because the heartbreaking reality is that I will never get to see my brother jauntily walking down the street with a book in his hand...again....ever.... with the hands in the family.
