In expressing gratitude for the beautiful gift, I said, "Thank you so much for thinking of us while you were away." Aubs responded, "Grandma!" quite sternly, "We missed you; of course we were thinking of you."
Later that evening, as they left, she said, very tenderly, "G'ma, I won't forget you while you're gone." Ah, blessings.
Now, the pretty flowers have been hanging in our kitchen window since. I grew the Impatiens in the outside window box from seed, with no thought to color or shape. Surprise, surprise.
