Grandma Mary and Harper

 I was in Hobby Lobby. Had taken a few of my Rainbow Chasers in with me as I wanted to ask for help on something. As I'm checking out a little girl named Harper standing behind me says " those sure are pretty!"

 I said to her that I make them and give them away and asked if there was one in particular she liked. She pointed at one with 2 red hearts and a pink angel on top. I gave it to her and she thanked me. She then says it was going to be her 5th bday tomorrow.  I said "well, consider it a gift from me, my name is Mary." 

 She turned to her mom and excitedly says " Oh, just like my Gma Mary...well she's not my real Gma but she lets everyone call her that and I sure love her."

 I thought of all those I love that call me Grandma Mary and aren't related. I almost started to cry knowing how good it feels to be loved by grandchildren regardless of the dna. 

 This sweet little Harper really has no idea what she did for my heart. Maybe it touched me so because the lady she was speaking of was Grandma Mary.  Everytime she'd say Gma Mary the tears got a little closer. I hope she had a wonderful birthday.
