They taught me how to imagine, and how to dream.
They gave me wonderful memories, and left footprints on my heart.

This is so beautiful – and touching too. I love so much how you’ve told this story of memory just with this person’s clothes from then and now – and the feeling created from the colors and pattens. Really beautiful illustration:-)
this is so beautiful with a vintage feel….and still so robust in color.
