We have an older woman who just started attending our church. She is a widow and is a bit estranged from her two children, which is very sad. I thought she might not be celebrated this Mother's Day, so I made her a card. Our family has sort of adopted her and I hope this will be a blessing and not a painful reminder of what she has been missing.
