Za ta l\u00e9ta se z na\u0161eho domu stala mal\u00e1 d\u00edlna pln\u00e1 barev, nit\u00ed a l\u00e1tek. V pracovn\u011b st\u00e1l star\u00fd \u0161ic\u00ed stroj, kter\u00fd zd\u011bdila po sv\u00e9 mamince. Jeho kovov\u00fd ped\u00e1l byl u\u017e trochu o\u0161oupan\u00fd, ale st\u00e1le fungoval stejn\u011b spolehliv\u011b jako p\u0159ed des\u00edtkami let. Vedle n\u011bj byly police zapln\u011bn\u00e9 krabicemi s knofl\u00edky v\u0161ech mo\u017en\u00fdch tvar\u016f a barev. Ka\u017ed\u00fd m\u011bl sv\u016fj p\u0159\u00edb\u011bh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Susan nikdy neza\u010d\u00ednala pracovat bez p\u0159em\u00fd\u0161len\u00ed. N\u011bkolik t\u00fddn\u016f pozorovala d\u011bti p\u0159i h\u0159e, poslouchala jejich rozhovory a zapisovala si drobnosti do mal\u00e9ho z\u00e1pisn\u00edku.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eEmily te\u010f miluje mot\u00fdly.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eOliver se zaj\u00edm\u00e1 o hv\u011bzdy.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201eBen sb\u00edr\u00e1 kam\u00ednky.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tvrdila, \u017ee skute\u010dn\u00fd d\u00e1rek mus\u00ed \u010dlov\u011bku p\u0159ipom\u00ednat, \u017ee byl opravdu vid\u011bn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jednou jsem se j\u00ed zeptal:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201ePro\u010d si d\u011bl\u00e1\u0161 tolik pr\u00e1ce? D\u011bti budou \u0161\u0165astn\u00e9 i z oby\u010dejn\u00e9ho d\u00e1rku.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Odlo\u017eila jehlu a pod\u00edvala se na m\u011b.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eMo\u017en\u00e1 dnes ano. Ale jednou vyrostou. A a\u017e m\u011b tu nebude, chci, aby ka\u017ed\u00e9 z nich vzalo do ruky n\u011bco, co jsem vytvo\u0159ila jen pro n\u011bj.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tehdy jsem jej\u00ed odpov\u011b\u010f \u00fapln\u011b nepochopil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Roky plynuly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vnou\u010dat p\u0159ib\u00fdvalo a Susan m\u011bla st\u00e1le m\u00e9n\u011b \u010dasu sama pro sebe. P\u0159esto nikdy \u017e\u00e1dn\u00fd d\u00e1rek neusp\u011bchala.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jednomu u\u0161ila patchworkovou deku slo\u017eenou z l\u00e1tek s motivy lesn\u00edch zv\u00ed\u0159at.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dal\u0161\u00edmu vyrobila pol\u0161t\u00e1\u0159 s vy\u0161it\u00fdm souhv\u011bzd\u00edm podle data narozen\u00ed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pro nejmlad\u0161\u00ed vnu\u010dku vytvo\u0159ila l\u00e1tkovou kn\u00ed\u017eku plnou kapsi\u010dek, barevn\u00fdch stu\u017eek a drobn\u00fdch obr\u00e1zk\u016f.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ka\u017ed\u00fd steh byl p\u0159esn\u00fd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ka\u017ed\u00e1 nit m\u011bla sv\u016fj v\u00fdznam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Na vnit\u0159n\u00ed stranu ka\u017ed\u00e9ho v\u00fdrobku v\u0161ila malou l\u00e1tkovou cedulku.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nikdy na n\u00ed nebylo jen jm\u00e9no.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
V\u017edy p\u0159idala kr\u00e1tk\u00fd vzkaz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eNikdy nep\u0159esta\u0148 sn\u00edt.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201eOdvaha za\u010d\u00edn\u00e1 v srdci.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eSm\u00edch je dar, o kter\u00fd se m\u016f\u017ee\u0161 d\u011blit.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jednoho podzimn\u00edho dne za\u010dala ka\u0161lat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nejd\u0159\u00edv tomu nep\u0159ikl\u00e1dala v\u00fdznam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pak p\u0159i\u0161la \u00fanava.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nakonec n\u011bkolik vy\u0161et\u0159en\u00ed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
L\u00e9ka\u0159i n\u00e1m ozn\u00e1mili, \u017ee l\u00e9\u010dba bude dlouh\u00e1 a n\u00e1ro\u010dn\u00e1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Susan ale odm\u00edtala mluvit jen o nemoci.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prvn\u00ed ot\u00e1zka, kterou polo\u017eila po n\u00e1vratu z nemocnice, zn\u011bla:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eKolik t\u00fddn\u016f zb\u00fdv\u00e1 do V\u00e1noc?\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n
P\u0159ekvapilo m\u011b to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eAsi osm.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n
P\u0159ik\u00fdvla.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eTak to mus\u00edm za\u010d\u00edt pracovat.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nam\u00edtal jsem, \u017ee by m\u011bla odpo\u010d\u00edvat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jen se usm\u00e1la.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eOdpo\u010dinek p\u0159ijde. Te\u010f m\u00e1m je\u0161t\u011b pr\u00e1ci.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sed\u00e1val jsem vedle n\u00ed cel\u00e9 ve\u010dery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kdy\u017e se unavila, pod\u00e1val jsem j\u00ed l\u00e1tky, navl\u00e9kal nit\u011b do jehel a st\u0159\u00edhal pap\u00edrov\u00e9 \u0161ablony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nikdy p\u0159edt\u00edm jsem ne\u0161il.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ale ona m\u011b trp\u011bliv\u011b u\u010dila.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eNejde o dokonalost,\u201c \u0159\u00edkala.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eJde o p\u00e9\u010di.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To byla jej\u00ed obl\u00edben\u00e1 v\u011bta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Na \u0160t\u011bdr\u00fd den byly v\u0161echny d\u00e1rky hotov\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
D\u011bti je rozbalovaly s nad\u0161en\u00edm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mo\u017en\u00e1 si tehdy je\u0161t\u011b neuv\u011bdomovaly, kolik hodin pr\u00e1ce v nich bylo ukryto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ale Susan je pozorovala se spokojen\u00fdm \u00fasm\u011bvem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Byly to jej\u00ed nejkr\u00e1sn\u011bj\u0161\u00ed V\u00e1noce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
O n\u011bkolik m\u011bs\u00edc\u016f pozd\u011bji n\u00e1s nav\u017edy opustila.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
D\u016fm najednou ztichl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u0160ic\u00ed stroj z\u016fstal st\u00e1t p\u0159esn\u011b tam, kde ho naposledy pou\u017eila.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Na stole le\u017eely n\u016f\u017eky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
V ko\u0161\u00edku z\u016fstalo n\u011bkolik klub\u00ed\u010dek barevn\u00e9 p\u0159\u00edze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nem\u011bl jsem s\u00edlu se t\u00e9 m\u00edstnosti dlouho ani dotknout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jednoho dne za mnou p\u0159i\u0161la na\u0161e nejstar\u0161\u00ed vnu\u010dka Emily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eD\u011bdo, m\u016f\u017eeme j\u00edt do babi\u010d\u010diny pracovny?\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n
P\u0159ik\u00fdvl jsem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Otev\u0159eli jsme dve\u0159e.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Emily pomalu p\u0159ejela rukou po star\u00e9m stole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pak vyt\u00e1hla z\u00e1suvku.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Uvnit\u0159 byly des\u00edtky pe\u010dliv\u011b ozna\u010den\u00fdch ob\u00e1lek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Na ka\u017ed\u00e9 bylo napsan\u00e9 jedno jm\u00e9no.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
V\u0161ech na\u0161ich vnou\u010dat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A tak\u00e9 n\u011bkolik jmen, kter\u00e1 jsem neznal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Otev\u0159el jsem prvn\u00ed ob\u00e1lku.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Uvnit\u0159 byl n\u00e1vrh budouc\u00edho d\u00e1rku.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
N\u00e1kres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vzorky l\u00e1tek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Barevn\u00e9 pozn\u00e1mky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A kr\u00e1tk\u00fd dopis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Susan pl\u00e1novala d\u00e1rky n\u011bkolik let dop\u0159edu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Psala si, co maj\u00ed d\u011bti r\u00e1dy, o \u010dem sn\u00ed a jak se m\u011bn\u00ed jejich z\u00e1jmy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Na konci ka\u017ed\u00e9ho dopisu st\u00e1lo:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Musel jsem se posadit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Poprv\u00e9 jsem pochopil, \u017ee mi nezanechala jen vzpom\u00ednky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Zanechala mi posl\u00e1n\u00ed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nev\u011bd\u011bl jsem, jestli to zvl\u00e1dnu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nikdy jsem nebyl zru\u010dn\u00fd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ale vzpomn\u011bl jsem si na jej\u00ed slova.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eNejde o dokonalost. Jde o p\u00e9\u010di.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Za\u010dal jsem pomalu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prvn\u00ed stehy byly k\u0159iv\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
N\u011bkolikr\u00e1t jsem p\u00e1ral \u0161vy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Na\u0161t\u011bst\u00ed mi pomohla na\u0161e dcera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pozd\u011bji se p\u0159idaly i vnu\u010dky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Z babi\u010d\u010diny pracovny se znovu oz\u00fdval sm\u00edch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tentokr\u00e1t u\u017e jsme netvo\u0159ili jen d\u00e1rky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tvo\u0159ili jsme nov\u00e9 rodinn\u00e9 tradice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ka\u017ed\u00e9 V\u00e1noce se v\u0161ichni sejdeme kolem velk\u00e9ho stolu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
