Kindness and a Thoughtful Grandmother

"I know what it is like to be brought up with unconditional love.  In my life that came from my grandmother."
~ Andre Leon Talley

A dear mom friend shared this story:  Her 10-year-old son was having a hard time with Math, but she knew that he could do it.  He really wanted a Pokemon from Build-A-Bear, so the mom told him that if he got an A on his upcoming math test, she would get him the Pokemon.  Well, the boy managed to get a 100 on the test!  When they called the local Build-A-Bear store, the shop had sold out and the on-line store had sold out, too.  My friend found the Pokemon at a store in the town where her mother lives a few states away.  That store could not hold or mail the toy, but the grandmother showed up at 10 am the next morning to get the prized Pokemon.
