A week later, there was a knock at my door. My daughter-in-law stood there holding a freshly baked pie, a little uneven and flour still on her cheek. “I tried your recipe… can we make one together next time?” she asked shyly. I smiled, knowing growth often starts with small steps. We didn’t just bake that day—we blended two families into one kitchen, learning that grace always tastes sweeter when shared.
