Sparkle Girl pays mom a visit

This past weekend, we were watching two of our grandkids, StM and LB. StM is five and a half and LB is three.
On Saturday, my husband and I had to go to a memorial service, so a friend of my daughter's watched the youngin's for us.
After we got home, my husband dropped mom and I off then went to pick up the kids. when they got home, got in the house, my husband announces there is a Princess here. LB comes in wearing this blue, sleeveless, sparkling dress over her shirt and pants.
She informs me she is Sparkle Girl! putting sparkles everywhere. And trust me, she was not without truth. Because everywhere she went, everything she touched, ended up with sparkles; the floor, my clothes, the blankets, Grandpa's recliner........everything and everyone.
I was in the kitchen cleaning and she came in and hugged me again to get sparkles all over me. I asked her to go hug Grandma Curtis and give her sparkles.
(now this part is the main part of the story)
She goes over to my mom, who is sitting in her rocker as always, kind of dazed, she reaches over to give her a hug and my mom wraps her arms around LB and hugs her back, ever so sweetly. As LB lets go, I show mom there are now sparkles on her clothes. Mom looks down to see sparkles all over her pants and starts to smile. She liked all those sparkles on her and loved that hug LB gave her.
The visit from Miss Sparkle (or "the Sparkle Girl"), definitely made mom's light shine. I hope she'll come back and see mom again.
