Just what I needed...

Grandma's crochet candy garland.

Homemade chocolate turtles and dried fruit!

Oh Grandma Bailey, you will never know just how perfect timing your box did come!
Today was just one of those days that I knew would change our family's lives. There was a lot of discussing, a couple phone calls, a lot of tears, and a lot of confusion.
Then we got your box grandma, and it seemed like everything wasn't so horrible after all. We can make it through as long as we have family who love us and as long as we have a Father in Heaven who directs us.

Grandma's boxes have always been a tradition that my family has looked forward to as long as I can remember.
Although through the years the contents have varied from, hats, sweaters or blankets to home made snacks! No matter what was sent there was always two staples that never changed.
Grandma's coveted chocolate turtles and everything was always made with love!
Thanks for making me feel loved today Grandma and for making everything okay.
