Dear Guillianna and Elijah-
it doesn’t matter how far I look back in our memories or what pictures we have of you two, there are just so many amazing memories attached. From your births to December 27, 2017 the time spent was nothing short of amazing and packed with fun love and growth. So much learned during those years and hopefully the love of family and reciprocal emotions of attachment to family and friends was foundational in your early years, enough so that you will be able to reflect one day on happiness and peace, knowing you have been loved to the ends of the earth and back by mom by dad, by us, by all of your family and so many friends.
We know something has happened to change things for now as your mom and dad find their own way and follow their own dreams. We have no idea what though. Longitude and latitude- and nothing that is untrue if that is the scenario, nothing that has been perceived if that is the scenario, nothing misunderstood if that is the scenario, nothing could , nothing could restrict the love that is sincere and pure in our hearts- This far we know this, to change phone numbers, to demand no letters be mailed, to threaten us and say no gifts are to be sent, and be treated as though we are criminal/vile people and speak to our character as grandparents , treat us as individuals who have harmed or would ever harm is frightening to both your Poppy and I, and has in these past months escalated to a point where we have had to write, to journal, and defend your true memories, defend in an attempt to prevent potential abandonment issues in your future , we have no understanding of how life has transpired in such a manner as to create such dysfunction, and discord this degree and yes it is beyond worrisome. This worry grows as time has passed week after week and now month after month when originally we had hoped time would prove to show that the relationship of grandparents is a good thing for you both , that parental roles would develop over time in a new state a new environment and any personal fear or worry of attaching would dissipate – but that did not happen. Instead there is something that leaves us concerned and hoping for resolve. As things stand however only fuels the need to write, document and put in place some irrevocable facts and documents, historical evidence, as tools possibly needed for the human spirit to heal from any potential sense of abandonment or miscommunication impacting your lives and the removal of all that was so precious to you both for so long.
The images here span so many years and the smiles and the love in your faces so prevalent. We are loving you and missing you, we are hopeful you’re happy and staying courageous and using all the skills and attributes you developed over so many years from teachers from friends from your parents from us , from all of the family. Your amazing individuals with a very rich and deep rooted foundation in love and caring, in hopes and dreams and in believing in the feelings of the heart. We love you to the moon and back,
forever and for always,
XOXOXOXOXOXO
