Memories pop up … here is today’s from my phone ….

Dear Guge and Eli-

So this is what popped up on my phone today when I woke up. You had so much fun with your lemonade stand and selling cookies and all kids of stuff to raise money for the Children’s Leukemia Foundation ! So many people came by the house just to buy from you two. Grandma Sharyn and Papa, Uncle Nick neighbors and well we were so proud of you two for raising money.

Then you were in an article for making such a nice donation so they came and took your pictures. This time it was for Halloween for kids and families who fight cancer !

 

So nice – Serving the community again and again. Do you remember when Nana had you both dress like mom and dad. To show what it is like for them to serve the country. We always tried to make sure you both knew they were keeping you and Americans safe by doing their jobs. To be proud of them and know how much they loved you ! We hope you two will not ever forget your time here and how it really was for you. That you never forget all the wonderful things you learned and did every single day and mostly how loved you are and how everyone in the Mitten loves you ❤️❤️❤️❤️

We are missing you both and every day we send wishes and hugs to you both. We are still so proud of how brave you’ve been through all the changes in your lives and we hope you know that the good things you have done to help others will not ever be forgotten. That you were so good for Nana and Poppy when you were here in the Mitten. And we are always proud of you both. LOVE YOU BOTH always and forever …

XOXOXOXOXOXOX

❤️Nana and Poppy❤️?

From here to the moon and back, the two of you are loved and treasured.

Our letters to you will hopefully help you know in your heart what you really mean to everyone here in the Mitten! We cannot tell you how happy we will be to see you both again, to talk to you both again, to go places with you both again.  Keep dreaming, keep working hard, and keep being kind.   Hugs to everyone and wishing you joy and happiness.
