Tia went to my Mom's house which is right up the street from us. She and her Daddy helped Grandma Madeline rake, trim bushes, treat Dogwood trees and roses, and cut grass. Tia really gave Mom a run for her money with the help she gave and all with a smile. This child has always been so interested in helping rather than playing when she visits. We do the normal craft projects and make-believe but for the most part she just loves to help us. Grandpa Ed in her eyes is not sick, he just needs a little more help than others. Deep down she knows he is ill and I simply adore how she makes him feel alive.

I think that our next visit will include a fancy dinner for the whole lot of us. Tia loves to cook and bake with me and sometimes I am so unsure where my patience comes from. I just love the small person she is and enjoy watching her morph into this vibrant and charming young lady.>>Believe51
