"In 1920, the year Grandma Lee was married, her happy earthly dreams were many—including a houseful of healthy children. After two stillbirths, she was given, instead, two children—my father and my Aunt Anabel, who was severely disabled and needed constant attention. While Grandpa farmed, Grandma lovingly cared for Anabel for 40 years. Setting aside many earthly dreams, Grandma’s daily life was nurtured by remembering her loving Father’s great plan of happiness—an eternal plan of hope for righteous desires and restitution for dreams unfulfilled."
