Mary had saved her money to buy a handwoven shawl for her stepmother. When Laurel opened it, she laughed and called it \u201ccheap\u201d in front of everyone. I couldn\u2019t stand by any longer. I handed Laurel an envelope containing plane tickets to Hawaii\u2014for me and Mary\u2014and told the guests I wouldn\u2019t stay silent while my granddaughter was humiliated.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2443\" data-end=\"2674\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">That trip restored Mary\u2019s confidence and joy.
