Crafting memories
Sarah went back to the living room and saw Lily holding a paintbrush in her fingers. With papers and markers all around them, the children were seated at the table. “What do you all have in progress?” Sarah inquired, delightfully taken aback by their cooperation. “A family tree for school,” Lily said, gently holding her paintbrush. Seeing them so engrossed in their work, their talk flowing in a buzz of collaboration, gave Sarah a shiver of pride.

Family ties
With a sparkle in her eyes, Lily looked up at Sarah and said, “We’re creating a family tree.” From the other side of the table, Jessica said, “Aunt Sarah, we need your help!” Grinning, she sat down next to them, her heart bursting with affection. Stories were exchanged and memories were relived throughout the evening. The bond between them was genuine and grew deeper every day in spite of the letter. Stories from the past and current laughing filled the room.
