she says can the kids come? i said sure. the kids are 70 and 72. i go out to the house. they've got her blindfoldedblin. they bring her out blindfolded. she sees the car, gets very emotional. she says let's go for a drive, pretend we're driving cross-country in new jersey. now the 70 and 72-year-old are in the back. they start going like this to each other. she turns around and starts slapping the crap out of them. i'll pull this car over! the three of them were laughing. it was so much fun. i go well, that's what it is. it is not a really valuable car. but it is a fun car. it brought back such memories for this woman. then the kids told me when they were teenagers they were ashamed that their dad had this, by that time, 16-year-old car. the dad would drop them off down the block from high school. they would walk to school so the kids wouldn't see their dad had an old car.

let her go to a nursing home. she needed to stay with us. so for the next five months, wesley assimilated into our family and trish enjoyed what she said was the best five months of her life. as i think back, i'll always remember the wonderful god-winks that fulfilled the needs of two mothers. trish needed a mother for her son. i longed for one more son to feel settled. trish taught me that family is often more than b but also those whom you are divinely aligned to meet. we miss her, but every holiday, trish has a special place in our hearts. >> oh, wow. that was -- >> wesley is now 10 years old. it's such a wonderful story. trisha has written a story about trish honoring her in a book called "god gave me you" and what this shows is that god wakes, in every one of our
