"Although I loved being a mom during my younger years, I had no idea how much joy I'd feel when my grandchildren were born. Because of them, I overflowed with unconditional love and found myself writing this book. My first grandchild, Amelia, was born just as I began chaplaincy school at 65. My second, Gracie, arrived just before I was ordained at 67. Being in their presence brought incredible love and laughter to my world and changed my life forever."
