That is so sweet of you, Cindy, thank you so much. I really appreciate it! The lessons I learned from my grandparents’ homegoing journey were not easy lessons to learn. But they’re lessons I continue to use each and every day and I’m thankful for the opportunity to pass them along. Sending you lots of hugs and thank yous, CoCo

You are so sweet to say that, Cindy, thank you. Each day I sit down to write, my only prayer is to be a vessel that offers hope and encouragement. I’m so sorry you’re going through a difficult time. I’ll definitely be lifting you up in prayer in the days and the weeks to come. Making the most of each day is not always easy. Especially, when there are a lot of demands on your time, talents, or resources. While it might feel like you’ve “failed”, every day you get up and share who you were created to be through sweet smiles, big hugs, encouraging words, grace in the midst of chaos, your painting, photography, slowing down to glorify Him, offering advice or sharing a meal is a success. Some of your greatest lessons will come in your most difficult seasons and you’ll be able to pass those lessons along to others. Hold your head up high, sweet friend, even in the darkest days you’re still amazing, CoCo

You are so welcome, Mary. There have been many times when I thought something was either too simple or not enough. But seeing all those Valentine cards together that day made me realize it doesn’t have to be big or extravagant to be impactful. Even the smallest acts of kindness can mean the world. I hope your Valentine’s Day was a special one and your week is richly blessed, CoCo

You are more than welcome, sweet friend. I promise I need reminders like these all the time myself. Sending you lots of love and hugs for a very special week, CoCo

You are so welcome, Joan. I need reminders like these all the time. I hope your Valentine’s Day and your week is filled with all good things, CoCo

I couldn’t agree with you more, Carol-Dee, thank you so much for your kind words. I never realized how much the cards meant to her until I saw how she had saved them all and kept them together. It was such a sweet reminder that what might seem small to us means more than we will ever know to someone else. Sending you hugs for a happy week. I hope your Valentine’s Day was filled with all good things, CoCo

Thank you, Eileen! Sometimes the smallest reminders or acts of kindness wind up to the be biggest gifts. Hope your Valentine’s Day was a special one, CoCo

Thank you so much, Jan, I really appreciate your kind words. They really do mean everything! Hope you felt loved and appreciated all day, CoCo

Thank you, Vee! Sending you lots of hugs and hoping you felt loved all day! Happy Valentine’s Day, CoCo

It really was, Heidi! I had no idea she was even saving them because she was such a practical, no-fuss kind of lady so it caught me off guard but in the best possible way. It just goes not show you small acts of kindness no matter how big or small mean so much. Sending you hugs and hoping your Valentine’s Day was a special one, CoCo

They would, Cindy! I’m definitely getting there by using what happened as motivation to live a life that helps to honor their legacy. Not only on Valentine’s Day but every day. Sending you hugs and hoping your day was a special one, CoCo
