What we know for sure, love lives in your heart!

Dear Guillianna and Elijah –
There are so many questions in life, things that happen that we can’t understand. Things you hear in the news or in history class at school – that don’t make sense. Or things that are discussed in politics, medicine or sports that you many not fully understand now – but eventually learn about, or things we think we do understand or know, things we believe in for a while suddenly change or become something different. It can be so difficult to understand the why or how of grown up things? Yet as an example of how it will all work out try to imagine this … when you go from kindergarten to fifth grade or fifth grade to high school you learn more and more and understand things in different ways – in kindergarten you can’t do algebra. But you can when you’re older. When you are first learning letters you cannot read but you eventually can. But there is something you can both be certain of today, while young, is something that you’ve known since you were babies. You are and always will be loved !
The real sincere feeling of comfort cannot be imagined. As a baby, a toddler , a young child and an older child you know what feels right to you and what makes you feel afraid or sad. You must always be able to tell the people you trust truth and keep the truth no matter what happens to make it fade.
A child knows When they are comfortable and when something is not right they can feel it. Take your memories of all the good and real events in your lives and use them make your own dream starters of sorts , You can always depend upon the fact that the love we have for both of you- is authentic/genuine. It is not wavering, and just like the flag story we talked about – how the men during the revolutionary war, who fought to keep it flying no matter what – well sweet kids- our love is just like that. No matter what happens – or what anyone could ever assume – our love will not change and is the exact same as you would remember it. Real. It is also forever. There is no way to truly explain to you how much we look forward to seeing you both again, we will wait- maybe it will be when things are not as busy.
When lots of time passes you could think we forgot, you could think we don’t care , You could think we are ones that are “too busy”. You could even think other things that would not be true. BECAUSE None of those things above are true.
THE Thing THAT IS TRUE IS you’re loved ! By so many people. Every person in the family you’ve spent years around is missing you, wishing you happiness and to stay as wonderful as you always have been. The things that YOU CAN REMEMBER should not be erased or altered by time or anything. Your memories should be cherished or kept special and valued. No matter how many minutes, hours, days, months, weeks or even years go by the truth will always be the truth and the love letters will always carry with them the reflection or the images of the truth.
The documents you’ll get when your old enough to read, able to understand the words, see who wrote them, or where they come from, will fill in blanks that can’t be understood now – and this information can help you as grown ups. It will help to fit all the pieces together – for these are records make a time line that shows our family’s birth from the beginning and how all the members of this family are good wonderful people. Each person in the world is different. We all have different kinds of life stories. So many different people and so many different life stories all merged together and created yours. It will show you all those who love you…. and there are so many stories of those who gave of themselves to make our own kids lives better, well as your lives so nice , for so long … not just Poppy and I, but uncles and aunts, great grandparents and cousins, friends …. and no matter what things may appear to be now you will have so much information that shows the love of family and is a great gift to know how loved you are.
All of us love you both and will always hope that love can bring to you and your family good things forever and always, to the moon and back …..
XOXOXOXOXOXO
