29-Day Giving Challenge

i called one grandmother for day 1, and today i was wondering, "who do i know who really needs a gift today? could particularly use my reaching out?" and i thought of my other grandmother, my dad's stepmom, who i visited this past summer but before that hadn't seen in almost 10 years. she sends me a card and a little bit of money on my birthday and christmas, and i write back a thank-you note...her cards always say, "come visit soon!" and mine always say, "yeah! i'm planning a trip to LA soon!" and i never went. anyway, she's had a bunch of health problems this year, and a little while before i was there last summer she found out she has cancer. i've followed what's going on with her somewhat through my mom and my aunt, but i haven't reached out to her at all. so this evening i called a florist around the corner from her house and sent her some yellow and purple tulips--springy and cheerful--and the lady there said she wouldn't even charge me for the delivery since it's so close! thanks flower lady! (thanks google maps!) thanks to all you lovely givers!

yeah, yay for the flower lady on the free delivery. : )

Too many times we get caught up in the "we'll have to see each other soon .. someday ..." thing. Me too. I bet the flowers really brightened grandma kay's day (hey, I sort of made a rhyme)
