My dear grandchild,
I am thrilled to bits that you inherited my curiosity/nosey/inquisitive gene! You must be be cleaning out my things and now you are reading this stack of letters.
I placed this letter right on top, so you could read me first!
I wish I could of met you, spoil you, see you graduate kindergarten. Are you a boy? A girl? Do you love to read? I have so many unanswered questions, but know this my grandchild – I love you to the ends of the earth!
When your mommy, my daughter, told me she was pregnant with you – I was thrilled.
I could not wait to hold you – to kiss you – to rock you to sleep. But, as you know, I was very sick and, well, you know the rest.
So – I wrote this letter to let you know you know – I love you and I am always with you.
Remember:
Be kind to others.
Say please and thank you.
Be kind to animals.
Listen to your elders.
Eat your vegetables.
Have one apple a day.
Respect your teachers.
Always give it your all
Follow your dreams
Give back
Do not litter
Now – if you thumb though this pile of letters – find the one marked “cookie.”
In that envelope is my famous chocolate chip cookie recipe and a crisp $20 Go get what you need and whip up a batch of Grandma’s cookies.
Take them over to the Senior Center and share them with everyone. Listen to them – spend some time with them. They will teach you about life, love, loss, war, peace.
Now scoot – they are waiting for you!
Love, Grandmama.
Nicole, my brilliant, creative, dear friend! This has left me speechless……
Nicole, it almost made me cry, Splendid!
