My daughter-in-law’s mother is so thoughtful. Today I opened a package that she sent me. It was a lovely bracelet with a medal of Mary the Mother of Jesus on it. She also sent a clipping from a local newspaper that had my son’s name in it. The article listed those in the area who were on the Dean’s List at their colleges. The fact that she noticed his name and took the time to cut it out and send it to me meant so much. We talked later this evening and I thanked her profusely. She takes care of my granddaughter during the week while her mom and dad are at work. And she is able to attend events that my grandsons participate in. She caught me up on all the family news. We exchanged notes, as she does not get on any social media, which is the main way I stay in touch being so far away. I loved talking with her and I am so grateful for our relationship.

I Found God today in a thoughtful and loving woman and I am grateful for the family tie.
