Another Birthday at Camp!

Feb 3, 2010 | Posted by Lisa |

Dear Mom and Dad,

Today is Aunt Allyssa’s birthday! CAKE FOR ME! AND WE SING, TO ME! That is how we roll around here… anyone has a birthday… I have taken possession of it, and celebrate it as my own! Here I am playing and singing… and just having fun!

I had an awesome day…. I did not swim tonight because I was so tired from being up during the night before, but I hope to sleep well tonight! Until tomorrow I am as always your Little Miss Adorable, your daughter,

Guilllianna!

P.S. We will celebrate with Aunt Allyssa on the weekend… she had school until ten tonight…. no time for cake 🙁

We missed you last night! Miss Laura got these awesome new penguin cups to pour water with and let me tell you, they are the coolest water toy EVER! I can’t wait to show you next week!

Hopefully you let your Nana and the rest of the campers sleep. They’re more fun if they’re rested!

See you soon, Madds

New Love Letters!

This site was originally written when Guillilanna was born. During her parents deployment and training, we would keep Guillianna in the Mitten. Then Elijah was born and he too was a frequent flyer to the Mitten. They lived with us on and off for nine years. Over the last deployment to Korea and during the past three years where in the kids lived with us for three consecutive years, the internet and this site was not really used to communicate with their parents, FACETIME was quick and easy. Their dad recently got out of the Army and they were relocated. We have not seen or talked with Eli or Guillianna for months. Last we saw them on FaceTime was May 2018. Last we held them December 2017, just after Christmas. Yet the reality is THIS IS NOT ABOUT just OUR BROKEN HEARTS- it is about theirs, ours and our entire family! for these kids who are so small and innocent, they have had a major change in thier lives. It is our hope that the journaling of our time together, and the and the new love letters for them will one day allow them to truly know the depth of love we ALL here in the Mitten have for them.

This site is also a special gift for our daughter, it documents all kinds of small details and images for her to keep, love and enjoy! These memories encompass nine and six years of the lives of her children! A true gift, that one day she may actually appreciate and have gratitude for. She doesn’t think of us as her parents at present, but maybe in the future, she will sit and reflect on all these memories, maybe she will see the love and dedication that she herself was given because of our love for her. If not, this journal, can hopefully one day allow Guillianna and Elijah to see and feel the truth, the love, and they will realize the amazing impact they have had on all of us here in the Mitten, and they will feel the love of all those who they spent their lives with, before embarking on the new journey they have begun. Friends, family alike have shared in nearly a decade of thier lives and all wish for the family to be happy. If it is a parents right and philosophy to “cut people out of your life like a kindergartener cuts out paper snowflakes” and raise their children to feel the same, this new set of love letters are written with the hope that in time the innocent will feel the love they HAVE always had, and the love they can ALWAYS carry it with them.
