My daughter has forbidden me from seeing my grandchild.

Transforming rejection into an act of love

Instead of letting anger consume me, I decided to channel the love I couldn’t give my grandson into something else.
I volunteer at a food bank. There, I met  Lina , 24, who is raising her little girl,  Nina , on her own . Tired, worried, but courageous.
When I brought her the knitted blanket and the things I had prepared, she burst into tears. As I cradled Nina while her mother finally ate a hot meal with both hands free, I felt something soothing.
Love doesn’t disappear. It flows.
