Daphne has a very special Grandma.
She treasures this letter she got from her "Nona" yesterday.

Dear Daphne,I am not very good at math. When I was in school, I always had to have someone else help me. Even when I went to college, I had Uncle Floyd help me study to pass my math class. I guess I don't have a good math brain either. But I am good at sewing and working in the garden and cooking and playing the piano and reading. You may have a hard time with math, but you sing like an angel. You are kind and helpful to your mother and you draw beautiful pictures. So it's okay to struggle with some things, because you are so good at many other things. Some people who are great with math, can't sing like you or draw pictures like you. Heavenly Father gave each of us many gifts because He knew what we were already good at in the pre-exsistance. You must have been singing in the angel choir. So just work hard at math and do the best you can, but remember you are very good at many other things. I love you.
Love, Nona

I love NONA!! Please tell Daphne that her Aunt Jewels stinks at math too :) Let Daphne also know that I agree with everything Nona said in her letter, she has a beautiful voice and is talented in so many other ways that it's probably best that she struggles with math so that others don't get too jealous of her skills :) Love you and your family lots!!
So sweet. If only everyone had a Grandma like her the world would be a better place. You kiddos are so blessed to have such a wonderful family :)
Sounds like Daphne's Nona is an angel herself!
This is a lifetime keeper! Heavenly Father sure knew what he was doing when he made Grandmas!
your mom is AMAZING. And I can attest to the fact that all the Stone women (this includes the Gariety women like Daphne) are AMAZING at many things and have been blessed with MANY talents. And I HATE math. But I struggled through it too. If I can do it, I know Daphne can.
Now that is the kind of grandma I want to be. Heck, that's the kind of mother I want to be. Glad to hear about the good news at the ENT.
