Grandpa Mark's Pillow

For Dearest "Grandpa Mark" ( 馬克醫生爺爺)

Here is the antique "hard-as-stone" pillow made of willow that is no longer available in most places except traditional markets.
I came across it a few days ago when I was helping my mommy out packaging her clothes for the European trip =p
Both my mom and grandma liked pillows of this kind very much. The fading smell of liveliness from these dried willows below your head is a reminiscience of my chilhood days under my grandma's tender care. Grandma would hold my tiny little hand in her wrinkled but warm hand and then with the very grace of simplicity grandma would walk me around the rows of willow trees around Gainsville campus every morning.Without the artificiality of this in-fad memory sensitive techo products with slogans like "one side features premium high density, temperature sensitive memory foam to cradle you in both comfort and luxury while providing the utmost support. It custom conforms to your body, relieving pressure points and improving circulation. The reverse side is brimming with luxurious microfiber fill, providing an incredibly soft, “down-like” feel. It enhances your sleep with gentle support and downy comfort" that have caused Grandpa Mark MUCH already, I do hope it will relieve Grandpa Mark of his neck pain and give him sweetest-ever night sleeps from then on >V<
