A shade tree in Foley

Jordyn Noel and grammie pammie under the Foley shade tree May 2013

What I love most about helping  is being with the people you are helping.  Holding them close in your arms and pretending that you never have to let go...
and in a way you don't have to...
as I learned from Hayden and Conner, once you love someone they are in your heart to stay.
As I hold her close I can feel my heart blend with hers - a pitter patter of baby love flowing over my aging heart, healing spots of lonesomeness, offering shade on a hot day, with spots of sunshine to warm a gramma's soul.
