Every day when I come home, my baby girl, Gracie meets me with a stick in her mouth. She is always so proud of her sticks she brings to me. Today this was the stick she brought to me. Usually I can ask her to put her stick down before she comes in to eat her puppy chow, but today she turned away and went and laid down. This stick was surely the best she has delivered!

Cruising through some old photos and came across this one from a year ago. It is my sister, Grace, and I holding our mother's hand during a prayer. A moment in time of peace and contentment.
