I Believe in Faith

Photos of Mom and I first getting to hug after many months, June 2020. We had taken some of her Great Grandkids to visit, thinking we would visit through the window like I usually do. But, once she saw us she hurried to the door and threw it open just standing there with the biggest smile. I kind of just stood there shocked because we hadn't been able to visit really 'in person', but she wanted a hug. It's been hard on her with my Sister not letting anyone near her even now. But, I'm so thankful she's in pretty good health at 91 1/2.
