She raised her hand toward her niece who grasped it in her own.Sara s grip was weak but full of the love she had for the youngerwoman.Denise knew from the look on her aunt s face that it had been worth every ounce of the work.Randa came into the room in time to observe the tender moment between Denise and Sara.She felt privileged to have been able to see it.She blinkedback tears and smiled brightly at the women."How is your mum, dear?" asked Sara.Her voice was a little thick with emotion yet."She s fine and on her way to spend the day with my father s sister in the San Francisco Bay area.They re both widowed now and try to spend holidaystogether.It was good to talk to her.She said to thank you for the hospitality to me and wish you a Merry Christmas from her.""It s no chore to provide hospitality to you, Randa."
