This was such a sweet entry to the "special delivery" writing prompt! I bought my grandmother a digital picture frame before she died, and she treasured it. It wasn't as fancy as yours, though - it wasn't synced with the cloud. Thank you for sharing this, and best wishes to you.

    Thank you very much Jessi. I am sure that the digital frame would have been a cherished gift for your grandmother, and helped her to feel special and loved. Lovely review.

What a thoughtful and loving gift. It is easy to tell how uplifting it was for you to receive it during such a stressful time with all that isolation from friends and loved ones. This is a wonderful entry in the contest!

An excellent entry for the Special Delivery writing prompt. Your son was so thoughtful to get that for you. I got the same thing for my 96 year old mother who still alone in her own house. The lock-down was hard on her even though she was used to being along a good portion of the time. She loved getting new pictures from family members around the United States and even from Denmark. It's a lovely way to keep in touch. thanks for sharing.

    How lovely - and I bet she felt very special and included and cared for - just as I did. Thank you so much for the lovely review.

This is such a sweet and touching story for the special delivery prompt. I'm sure that digital photo frame still works wonders.
Sending you my best today as always, and my very best wishes in the upcoming contest.

    Thank you very much for this lovely review and for the good wishes. Yes, it really is wonderful to see the new photos - and every ten minutes there's a different photo and memories of times past and present.

This is a very uplifting story that everyone can relate to. You've allowed many to remember the sadness, isolation, and fear they experienced during those days, but were able to turn around the mood by the kind act of a son. Bravo!

    Thank you so much. Yes, I was feeling a bit alone and unneeded, but this gift (breaking Covid rules to get it to me) made me aware that they were all still thinking of me - and even today I love seeing the most up-to-date photos even though I see everyone fairly regularly.
    Such a lovely review - appreciated.
