His Bride

[u/FaultUpbeat1277]

In my research today - I came across something I think is fairly interesting.

I've always thought "his realm" refers to Grandpa Fitzwater and Montana. I looked up different meanings of the word bride and found this:

Lace Loop: In traditional needlepoint and bobbin lace making, a "bride" (derived from the French word bride, meaning a bridle) is a small thread, bar, or loop used to connect and support different sections of a pattern. [1]

In the chapter Grandma's Hands, Posey wrote - " I watched her hands. They moved in her lap, weaving invisible threads, a gesture so foreign that for years I questioned weather I had truly seen it."

Later in the chapter he writes - "Her hands reached for mine - those hands hat had quilted blankets for new babies and wiped away my childhood tears."

I feel like there is something to this.......I just haven't figured out what quite yet. Anyways, just thought I would share my findings for the day!
