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

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 

❤️Nana and Poppy❤️?

Love you both !

Dear Guillianna and Elijah-

Another day has come and gone but not without many good and wonderful memories of you both.    It’s the weekend and hopefully the two of you have lots of family fun time ahead in the coming days.   We will likely see family over the weekend  here in the Mitten.   That is always special !  We are continually wishing and hoping that you have great happiness and that you will feel our love through out each and every day, and the peace and knowledge that we will always love you both to the moon and back,

forever and for always

Remembering Thinkerbell and the gang!

Nana January 10, 2019 0Comments

Dear Guillianna and Elijah –

So yesterday I reassembled most of the fairy garden given to Guillianna by Coach Becky and Mr Brian.  It’s  been something I didn’t do for quite a while,  since we moved.      It occurred to me that even though it was so sad that wasn’t taken with you when you left, it had so so many fun memories.  I simply felt I should reassemble it and hope one day in a perfect world you can see the image that may help you to remember Thinkerbell, Jasmine, Musilina, Beanie, and all the rest of them.  To think of mini marshmallows and the magical happiness.         I have been accused of lying to Guillianna, and making you both “dependent” upon  DreamStarters.   I believe in childhood dreams and fantasies, in reading and building stories to help little ones sleep.  Or bring excitement to the morning stories that would unfold when we would expound upon DreamStarters.   All fun things and joyful memories!  I only wish there were a way for me to understand  or to believe that any of what  happened, how you lived, and your experiences while   living  in the Mitten were in any way bad or harmful to either of you.     Poppy and Nana will always remember the fun, the imaginations that flourished, the love that was present, the memories that make up a very happy and healthy childhood.    It is our hope that you will too.    The embellishment or distortion of your memories is such a risky road to take when the real sentiments felt by grown people  have nothing to do with the life shared with you two  for so long.  What a shame it is for your memories to be tainted with anything negative if the real issues have nothing at all  to do with your time spent in the Mitten.

The real message and memories  of your time in the Mitten  is “LOVE ❤️“,  true pure love and we hope nothing will ever change that memory from your hearts.   As children whose love for Nana and Poppy is buried deeply, whose love can no longer be shown or shared, please know it’s okay and we understand, we want for you to be happy and have the love of your mom and dad and hope for one day all  of your family to see that love is good and okay, that it is a gift to share love for each other – and you should always know that we DO know how much you loved all of the time we spent.   We are sure it has been so much more difficult than words could say to keep inside all you feel and know to be true – to leave behind all you knew all you did and most everything that was yours  – but you are brave, strong, loving, great children who will have an entire world of dreams and a lifetime to explore them.

We will always treasure our memories .   From memories of Elijah and his Nana loves me bear !  To Guillianna and the Nana loves me shirt she could not part with ….

We hope you’ll one day know you’re loved to the moon and back …. Nana and Poppy will always love you –

forever and for always

XOXOXOXOXOXO
