I bought my grandson some new clothes. Nothing expensive, just a few nice shirts and pants that I thought he would look handsome in. I was excited to see him wear them, but when we showed them to my daughter-in-law, she frowned. “Is this all you could afford?” she asked, her voice sharp. The words stung more than I could admit. I didn’t want to cause a scene, so I quietly excused myself and went home. But her comment stayed with me, echoing in my heart.
