Thank you so much for taking the time to read it & leave a comment. 🤗

Thanks so much. I love that you called me a storyteller. I never saw myself as a great reporter in all the years I worked in news. But I sure loved writing and storytelling. I’m thankful I can still do that with this blog, and that people, like you, take the time to read it.

Thank you. I’m so happy you saw this because it’s a part of your Dad, too. He was such a good man and I realize what a sacrifice it must have been for him to buy this sewing machine back in the day. And you’re so right about that baby picture of my mom. . Every time I see it, I see Little Lydia in her.

Thank you, Madeline. It’s amazing to me how God cares about the tiniest of things. He really is in the detail, we just have to look through a different lens.
