Every January I Sent My Son-in-Law $40,000 for My Granddaughter. Then She Whispered, ‘Grandpa, Follow Dad.’

A little later she asked whether I regretted sending Mark the money.

I told her I regretted not asking more questions, but that I had sent it because I loved her and wanted her cared for.

“Does that mean the love was wasted?” she asked.

“No,” I said.

“The money may have been misused.

But loving you was never a mistake.”

She let that settle.

Then she reached for my hand.
