Not having any grandmothers as all died before I was born, I pray that those who are fortunate to have one or more in their lives cherish them with all of their hearts and realize how blessed they are.

I had a living grandmother but she wasn't what you would expect. God more than made up for it -- I'm now surrounded by loving maternal women who I get to adopt and 'borrow' :) God bless you!

We never know the seeds we plant by letting our love flow, but I believe we can be assured that our tears, our prayers, and our little acts of charity will bear fruit.

Some of what are called 'little' acts of charity of some holy people around me are pretty big ones I find :)

Beautiful story, FB! Family really is where Faith begins. For those of us lucky enough to have experienced this growing up, what a gift we have to share with others, especially as an encouragement! "Small things with Great Love" begins at home or in parishes with family and friends. Bless you, Connie
