Forever and For ALWAYS

 

 

Dear Guillianna and Elijah-

For as long as we can remember both of you have been an example of kindness, love and brought so much happiness to everyone around you.   We hope you continue to be the same in your day to day lives.    We know that things happen in life that can change you.   Especially in situations where you could feel helpless or frightened .   We know that growing up is a hard job, and so is being a parent.    They say the best job is being a grandparent.   Poppy and I definitely ? love it.    We love you both to the moon and back !   Things in the Mitten are ok, as you saw in our letter from the other day Elena turned 5!   Uncle David is out of the hospital and back home !  It is his birthday today !   Your mom will have a birthday soon- and we hope you make it extra special for her.   Despite what it may seem to you as small  children in the current situation Nana and Poppy are sending birthday wishes to our daughter and hoping that our wish for her happiness and some sort of compromise that allows for her to see truth- hoping our wish can come true.   That something changes inside of her to allow for her to see the love that is and not the contortion that have evolved.     Nothing will change our wish for that kind of peace for all involved in this.

 

The most important thing is for you both to work very hard at school and enjoy every moment of the journey you’re on .    Love with all your heart and always be kind .    The days of DreamStarters, School bud driver, and all of our crazy fun and happy Sha“nana” gins, May be in the past for now but our love is not.   It is reaching to the moon and back, for ever and for always,

XOXOXOXOXOXO

Little bursts of happiness are seen as we look back on early memories …

Dear Guillianna and Elijah-

Some photos to show a few more moments in time that bring smiles to our faces !   The hope is one day they will do the same for you both ! Bursts- of happiness like fireworks on the Fourth of July!

The days are cold here in the Mitten but the heart is warm when looking at so many images of the two of you, our other grandchildren, and our kids, as we sit and write you,  we see things as they were – not as they seemly have been imagined to be by others –

The smiles, the laughter cannot be erased and while time may fade your memories of us, the truth is – you came to the Mitten so small and left at ages 9 and 6.    There are a plethora of memories that are real, the shaping of the caring souls, all of the love and snuggles, the games, and playtime, the family, the friends, as well as the early years of education- all of this and more  will always be a part of you.

These memories go back the beginning of your lives and will stay with us to the end of our lives and carried on by all those who ever saw Poppy and Nana hold you, play with you, love you, and put your needs above all else when mom and dad were working .    Our older children can attest to the love and support given to you both to your parents.   To the love and the countless attempts to show loyalty and dedication to our oldest daughter.      Somewhere things have now become very misconstrued and somewhere through it –  we have been labeled the people who should be banned from two little ones who only ever loved us both – our hope will always be for truth and the protection of the emotional welfare of the innocent in this.

We love you two little ones- to the moon and back-

FOREVER AND FOR ALWAYS

XOXOXOXOXOXO

Always and forever!

 Dear Guillianna and Elijah 

There could not be more true words than those above!     Poppy and Nana are always in your heart and we love you both so very much. 

It is so important that you remember this – through out all of your life you will face so many different challenges, varied changes, and amazing outcomes from all the efforts you put forth towards your dreams.

The courage you have inside, the happiness that lived inside of you for all your lives in the Mitten will be a strong force for your entire lives.    The love of family to both of you as well as the ardent love you both have always shown is  and will not ever forgotten by anyone here.    May it always be a driving force in your hearts to bring you to the place that is “home” and allows you comfort no matter where life leads you two!     You’ll return to school on Monday and the weekend has passed without any connection for your cousin’s birthday, yet we certainly will make a wish as they blow out a candle,  at our end.  We will wish, as we do every day, for quick resolve and comfort inside each and every day we are kept from your lives.

We love you both, to the moon and back,

forever and for always,

XOXOXOXOXOXO

Happy birthday to Elena

Dear Guillianna and Elijah-

Today is Elena’s 5th birthday!   She was so sick last week I was worried she may be sock for her birthday … but look at her so happy and fully recovered!    Her birthday was at The trampoline park and she seemed to have had a good day !    Holidays and birthdays without you two are so difficult but please know that you’re always with us in memories and through the love we have for you both.

Crazy how time flies by – 5 years since you got to meet your little cousin and of the five years you shared in four of her life !   Wishing Elena a very happy birthday and may she get to see you both soon .   She is so grown up !

I know that she misses you both!  As do we all… but remember this ,  our love for you will not fade with time, it is the kind of love that travels to the moon and back,  it is the kind of love that lasts

forever and for always,

XOXOXOXOXOXO
