The afternoon sun streams in through the eyelet cotton curtains, coating the room in a warm amber glow. A collage of clothing items lies on the pink and green patchwork comforter: A few stray scarves, two woolen army hats, a small children’s shirt embroidered with multicolored cross-stitching. These are items my grandma would take out to show me while we wait for her friends to arrive for a game of Mahjong.
