LOVE FOR YOU BEING SENT YOUR WAY, WISHES FOR HAPPINESS EVERY SINGLE DAY!
Never forget the Nana you two always loved is always wishing you happiness and love ! 
And so does your Poppy … ❤️ TODAY TOMORROW AND ALWAYS…..
Dear Guillianna and Elijah
Today’s love letter is to remind you how important it is for us to see you both happy! We hope life with mom and dad is so much fun! That you are doing lots of good work at school and enjoying all kinds of activities!
It’s true we wish we could see and talk to you – and everyday we wonder how your day is going … but we also want your mom and dad happy. We want them to build trusting loving relationships with you both. I think it was very hard on them being away so long from both of you. Poppy and I love our whole family- every single child with all our heart and soul. We have learned that all our children grow up to follow their own dreams. We hope they will make good and safe choices. We hope they will learn to love others and treat others with kindness. Follow direction so they don’t get lost on the road thru to adulthood. That is what parents do- and eventually their kids get to choose, they can choose to stand by the family values and appreciate the love and protection. And often they can choose to find an entirely different path that best suits them. Your mom and dad have made decisions that make them the most happy. They find the path they feel is best for them and what hey want. Some families are very close. Others are not. Your parents have made clear that they don’t like being around Poppy and Nana and they feel they have good reasons. They love both of you very much and we are hopeful you will always be loving kind and respectful of them so that you can grow, healthy happy and learn what will make you happy when you’re a grown up.
These love letters and thousands of photos and memories over ten years time will remain inside of you. They are posted here for you to remember clearly truth and what was real for both of you. And all of your tomorrows are full of new memories that will be equally fun and special.
I used to tell my kids – to be mindful and REMEMBER who they are and the values Poppy and I tried so hard to teach them, to not let the Army or non army life change their course and to always know that they must be careful to choose “good” and “kindness”. To love and respect those who love them . We also hope the two of you will always listen to your heart and be true to your passion in life, and believe in the love we have always had and will always have for you both . What ever your life’s passion is … make all your efforts good, be compassionate, and always keep a heart full of gratitude. Every person you know and love in the Mitten, is wishing you happiness today and always.
Love you both, always and forever,
XOXOXOXOXOXO
❤️Nana and Poppy❤️?
