She alone made it OK to turn him over to someone else for 3 days a week when he had just turned one. He would run to her when he saw her. And, yes -- she sure did love her some Nelson.<br /><br />I cherish the account, the photo, your drop-everything kindness to her...I could feel her grace and generosity in your post and her smile. So glad to know she's still walkin' around on this earth.
