I was raised by my grandparents and never heard my grandmother sing. After the death of my brother, she had already died some years ago by then. In my dream my brother did lay his head on my grandmother's lap and my grandmother sang and cried and sang Vana Varikuchema- my children are crying, and this she was singing to tell my mother.
