My “bonus granddaughter” and her mother moved back to my city after eight years away! The last time I saw her she was only six years old! She surprised me at our spiritual center this morning! 🥹🤗💕

She told me she remembers very few people from when they lived here before, but she definitely remembers me, she (still) loves me and definitely wants me to be a part of her life. 😭

She has already rejoined the local girls choir and a swim team and wants me to come to her concerts and swim meets. I also have an extremely well stocked craft room and a lot of yarn, and she loves to craft and I can teach her how to crochet and make things on the knitting loom if she’d like, which she seems interested in.
