The coin came from my wife who gave it to our granddaughter. She never used it and gave it to me.

I met a lady today in her 70’s who is still working and does not expect to be able to retire. She washes, dries, and folds people’s clothing. She was very helpful so I struck up a conversation with her.

We talked about our children and grandchildren and she told me how she had raised several of her grandchildren. One in particular was very difficult but has become a wonderful person and mother. Anyway when I left I handed her $50 and the coin, hoping to brighten her day. She seemed very surprised and touched.

This coin was originally bought by my sweet mother, to remind me to pay it forward, & be kind to other people. It was a gift on Christmas Day 2019! Her favorite bible verse is Philippians 4:8, “Whatever is right, true, righteous, & noble— think about such things.” Good advice for life!

I set this butterfly free on Aug. 20th, 2020 to my very special granddaughter, Jessica. May it always remind you of how much you’re loved by your family & friends. Love, Nana
