Dorothy

  She wanted so deeply to be a mother.  Going through some of her papers, I found a folder filled with all the steps she had taken to try to have a baby. Painstaking and painful---medical tests, heartfelt pleas for help, prayers---all in vain.
   So she had no children of her own and no grandchildren either. The closest she could come were her relatives' children and grandchildren.
     She loved them with all

her heart:
