mawmaw

Grandmother's recipe cards yellowed in my hands, Tamil script dancing across faded paper. I'd nearly lost them moving between countries, between lives. That morning, watching Mawmaw arrange spices with weathered fingers, I realized something precious was slipping away. So I did something unexpected. I photographed each card, preserved them digitally on the Stellar blockchain—immutable, eternal. My cousins across continents could access our shared heritage anytime. Mawmaw laughed when I explained. "Technology remembering our stories," she said, squeezing my hand. In that moment, past and future collided beautifully, securing something timeless for generations we'd never meet, binding our diaspora family together.
