  • For the love of a child


    They hadn't spoke in several weeks, the two of them, two grandmas stubborn beyond belief.


    She wasn't sure why, or exactly what started it, but she knew she wasn't going to be the first to give in, the first to admit that they needed each other. She thought about it a lot, though. Too much. She missed the pictures sent directly to her, the updates on every new thing that her granddaughter did, the talks about the future of Destiny.


    Maybe, subconsciously, she knew that the generic email sent with a picture of her son and his new dog would create a chain-reaction. Perhaps she really just wanted to send her granddaughter a picture of her daddy at play, a picture that shows his sweeter side.


    Whichever.


    The result was wonderful.


    The grandmas are talking again, and pictures are in her mailbox again.............
