  • Summary

  • Host, Misty Van Hooser, dedicates this deeply personal episode to her beloved grandmother Ruth. She recounts her traumatic childhood with drug-addicted, negligent parents, finding refuge in church at age 5. At 8, after moving to Florida, she met Ruth and Dick, who became like grandparents by giving her rides, feeding her, and spending weekends together. They filled voids in each other's lives; the speaker gained the loving family she desperately needed, while they found the granddaughter they'd long wanted.

    She cherishes memories of feeling true love from Ruth and Dick, who were married 65 years and were kindness itself. Their beautiful marriage set an example for healthy relationships that inspires her today as a divorced mom. The speaker credits her grandparents, especially Ruth, for saving her life and setting her on a positive path when she easily could have faced homelessness, trafficking, and addiction. She strives to exude the unconditional love Ruth gave so freely. The host concludes by reading a promise to carry forward that love to her own three daughters and others.
