"What a beautiful home," said Lena, walking up the steps to the Reagan home. Jamie had suggested inviting Lena to family dinner the following Sunday. Eddie agreed, albeit reluctantly.

"Remember, Mom. Best behavior. Please," implored Eddie, looking at her mother.

Jamie smiled at Eddie and gave her a nod of encouragement as he opened the front door.

Inside, the family was bustling about, getting dinner ready. As the family members took their familiar seats around the dining room table, Jamie set up a chair for Lena next to Eddie.

"We are most honored to welcome you to our family dinner table," Frank said warmly, smiling at Lena.

"Thank you, Frank. I'm so honored to be here. And . . . I have a surprise." Lena rose from her seat. Eddie's eyes opened wide. She had no idea what her mother had in store.

"Actually, we have a surprise, Jamie and I," Lena said. As if on cue, Jamie rose to retrieve a package from the living room, which he presented to Eddie.

"What on earth is this?" Eddie asked. The package, about a foot square in size, was wrapped in silver paper and a gold bow.

"Well," Lena began. "Some of us have been searching for a brooch that my husband sold off several years ago when we ran into financial problems, unbeknownst to me and Edit." Eddie started to cringe.

"Jamie, being the incredible investigator that he is, managed to track down the brooch at a high-end shop in the city," she continued. "But . . . the brooch wasn't meant to be bought on a cop's salary."

"Mom," said Eddie, annoyed. "There are more important things than money."

Lena nodded. "Yes, of course. And Jamie helped me understand that," she said, looking at her daughter. "He told me that you often help out people who are facing real struggles in life. Bigger struggles than finding a valuable diamond brooch."

Eddie looked at her mother, unsure where the conversation was going.

"Jamie and I had a nice conversation about sentiment and value," Lena continued. "It brought back memories of an old handkerchief I had stored in my armoire." Lena paused. "It was embroidered by my grandmother." She looked at the package, and then at Eddie. "Please, open it."

"The package seems kind of big to be a handkerchief. Or a brooch," said Sean, curious.

Tearing back the wrapping paper, Eddie held up a vintage handkerchief, elegantly matted and framed. The corners of the handkerchief were embroidered with delicate yellow and white flowers. Some of the flowers were embellished with small, white beads.

"Back in Serbia, my family was very poor. Times were hard for everyone," Lena continued. "I don't even know how my grandmother got the embroidery thread, much less the beads for this handkerchief."

"Look at these yellow and white flowers," Eddie marveled. "I never knew you had this."

Erin leaned over to admire the gift. "What a priceless heirloom."

"I never really appreciated this, I must admit," Lena said. "It's a handkerchief. But Jamie convinced me that it had great value. He had it preserved and framed for you."

"Good detective work tracking down the brooch," Danny said, looking at Jamie. "Nice job with the handkerchief, too."

Eddie blinked back tears. "Imagine, this was made by my great grandmother. She held this in her very hands. I can just feel the love in her heart as she was embroidering these beautiful flowers." She looked at her mother, then at Jamie. "Thank you for preserving this."

Lena sat back down. "Well, I'm learning that maybe the most precious things are the simple things made from the heart."

"I'll bet your grandmother could not have imagined her granddaughter's life, here in New York, decades later. She'd be really proud," said Nicky, smiling at Eddie. "This is so amazing. Maybe I should make something that would be valued over generations."

"Hey, I painted a ceramic penguin in 8th grade," quipped Sean. "Maybe we should be saving all the stuff that I make. It could be valuable someday."

"Yeah, well, there's a difference between saving heirlooms and being a pack rat," Danny deadpanned, eliciting laughs around the table.

"Well," said Frank. "This is quite a beautiful memory. Thank you, Lena, for sharing this moment at our dinner table."

Grandpa Reagan smiled. "This is quite astounding. So much to be grateful for, indeed. Well . . . shall we say grace?"

Eddie and Jamie shared a contented look, full of love, before bowing their heads on gratitude.
