“Can you read this?”
My daughter and granddaughter were gone, but the love they’d given the world hadn’t disappeared.
It lives on in the people they helped.

Now, I knew better.
I still had something to give.
And thanks to Emily, Lucy, Gianna, and one little girl named Sophie, I finally had a reason to look forward to tomorrow.
