My 16 year old daughter, Stephanie wrote a letter to her Grandpa this Christmas. This is the first year that Grandpa will not be able to be here spending Christmas with us. So, Stephanie wanted to let him know how much he means to her.
She knows that he takes the time to read my blogs. So, she thought it would be special to express her feelings here... just one more reason that I love being here on Active Rain! We can reach out and touch the ones that are near and dear to us!
Dear Grandpa,
I thought I would take the time to write to tell you how wonderful I think that you are. I know that there is not a single grandpa in the world like you.
How did I get so lucky?
Over the past 16 years I have learned so much from you. You have taught me so many things while working at the rental houses we own. I enjoy it when you, Dad, Mom, Sam and I work together to get a house ready for the next tenant. There are so many things to get done and you help me learn how to do things I never knew how to do before.
I can't imagine having grown up without you in my life.
Grandpa, you are amazing and wonderful in so many ways. I love you more than words can express.
Merry Christmas, Grandpa. I miss you!
Love, Stephanie

Hi Kenneth, Thanks for stopping by to read Stephanie's letter to Santa. Have a great Christmas.
Hey Miss Mary, How are you today? Stephanie loved the idea of including her letter here, to her Grandpa. She wishes she could see the look on his face when he reads it. She loves doing things like this. She is always writing letters that rip our hearts out - she is such a dear. I am so blessed to have her as my daughter. Have a wonderful Christmas.
