I am stunned and amazed how your incredible gift came to me, and enabled me to go to WV and be with my mother over her birthday the week of June 23. Words cannot begin to express my gratitude. Most importantly, it was confirmation to me to continue on this path of hopeful healing for my mom and me....even though others in my immediate family may not be able to do that right now, or be able to encourage me along that path. Broken relationship started with my dad years ago, but I felt compelled to go see him in a nursing facility in MD. The word I took with me at that time was "Grace", and left with him a key and "faceplate" with the word engraved on it. He passed away less than one year later. On the way to WV I felt strongly that, even though I had not removed that lovely "hope" necklace since receiving it from you all, I was to leave it with my mother, if she would receive it. She accepted, and I placed it around her neck. I also left the note with her. My momma had a stroke a year and a half ago. My prayer for her is that she will know the peace that comes in realizing that God continues the good work He has started in us, even when life seems obscured with painful and confusing clouds. Thank you again for the work you do, and for extending your hope, Grace, and love to my mother and me. Tons of hugs......
