I am hosting this AYLI challenge.

During the lockdown I have been sending my Mother-in-Law cards. She is in a care home and therfore cannot have visitors. We usually visited every other day so it left a big gap in all our lives. I just hoped the little cards would let her know how much we all missed and loved her.
