Inspiration:
Hope In Springtime is a story based on an extraordinary event that occurred in my Grandmother's life. It was a moment that stayed with her, until the day she died.. It was during the Depression; a time when people were very familiar with the heartache of poverty and hunger. On this particular day, my Grandmother drove to the grocery store with the only money she had left. A silver quarter that was to buy food for her and her family. As she walked into the market, she found her eyes drifting to an image that grabbed her heart. An elderly woman stood in line, sobbing because she didn't have enough to buy what she needed. She looked like an injured bird, broken and helpless. It was at this moment that my Grandmother walked over to her and gave her the last twenty-five cent piece that sat in her wallet. It was at this moment that my Grandmother gave something more valuable than money, she gave someone hope. As she left the store empty-handed, she worried that her children would have to share the sparse portions of the little bit of food left at home. Yet even with this worry, she knew in her heart that she did the right thing. Then, upon opening her car door, she found herself staring down at a wonderful gift; a shiny silver quarter. There it was, boldly sitting on the front seat of her car. From that moment on, my Grandmother believed in Angels.
