Short-term Relationship

Mom had a cow when I told her I was pregnant with Sam. "You have too much to do with the three kids you have now," she said. It took mere moments, though, for her to fall completely in love with her fourth grandchild.

Mom passed away shortly after Sam turned two, but she'd still be smitten with him. He has become a very charming little boy.
