A Priceless Gift

We have received so many special things for Fletcher since his arrival, but this week he got a very special gift from his Grandma Westphal. You see, this is a special gift because his Grandma Westphal passed away in December shortly after meeting him. We believe she held on just to meet our little guy. Our sister in-law, Hope, had a scarf that Grandma Westphal started years ago, turned into a blanket for Fletcher so that he would have something special that was Grandma’s. There was also a note enclosed that Grandma had dictated for Fletcher. It conveyed how much she was looking forward to meeting him and how much she loved him. I’m wrought with emotion and speechless. We wish Fletcher could have spent more time with his Grandma Westphal. She will definitely live on through our collective memories of her.

Thanks, Hope, for your thoughtfulness in making sure Fletcher had something special from Ellie – probably the sweetest thing anyone could have ever done for him – and us!
