Such a sweet message for your granddaughter. And I love your advice at the end. (Also, feel free to reach out at 2am! I’m usually tossing and turning around then as well!)
your letter to 'baby' is far more lovely than grading papers overnight. I can only imagine the delight when she reads your letters one day. such happiness.
Cute idea Jim, writing to your granddaughter. I didn't think of that. But my granddaughter, Riley, is about to turn 6 and with autism, still mostly nonverbal. Whenever she visits, from Queens, she plays nicely with her toys and I take pictures of her at play, with her dad/mom, aunts, doing whatever she is doing. Ihave the photos printed at Waldgreens, then write a nice message, put on a post card stamp and, viola, she's got a postcard. She keeps them in a special shelf and accesses them when she wants, counts them, sorts them by color, whatever. There are many dozen by now, her personal collection of postcards from grandpa. So, after your "sweetheart" is born, you needn't stop writing, especially if she lives afar.
Oh that's a really nice idea. I hope she always savors them. I'm not sure where my letters are headed -- they may be part of something larger -- but I thought it would be nice to have a record of the moment of the time she was born.
This is a Valentine to an angel. You are two days early, but she won’t notice.
