nd<\/sup> grader who becomes their \u201cfoster grandchild\u201d for the year. We get together 4 times a year during school. Two times we go to Mass together and every time we have snacks, games and time to talk or make crafts together. The children write them letters and cards throughout the year.<\/p>\nI started the program 6 years ago. Some of the children still sit with their former foster grandparents at all school Masses. Some of the foster grandparents have attended the student\u2019s sacraments as they have aged. One student asked their former foster grandparent to be their Confirmation sponsor 5 years after the program had ended. Both the foster grandparent and grandchild feels loved and most continue their relationship as friends for years.<\/p>\n
This was a cake that a foster grandparent made for our final gathering this year. It was so sweet to say thank you. How often do we say thank you to the people who have helped us, loved us and lifted us up throughout our lives? How often do we acknowledge those quiet people who have made such a difference in the lives of so many?<\/p>\n
