Grandparents are pretty much the best thing ever. They spoil you rotten when you’re younger, they teach you life lessons without you even realizing it, and they’re just always there for you. No matter what. I feel so lucky and fortunate to still be able to spend time with all 4 of my grandparents – they’re all still so active, and it’s great to be able to take little vacations together each year. Whether it’s hanging out in the middle of no where at my one set of Grandparent’s cabin, or going to the beaches of Florida and North Carolina with my other set of Grandparents, they’re always the vacations I look forward to the most.
But besides all of the usual reasons I love my grandparents, here is a random thing I love: they still write me hand-written letters. Who sends actual letters in the mail any more? My grandparents do! And I LOVE it – I always get so excited when I get a hand written note – like the same kind of excited when you used to get when you’d get care packages in the mail when you were in college (my sister ROCKED at those!).
Here is one they wrote to J and I:
I love this letter so much that I hung it up on the board right next to my computer. It just makes me smile every time I look at it:)
My Grandpa and J always talk sports. If there are two people that love to chat, it’s J and my Grandpa. They could go on and on and on about sports for hours on end. I thought it was so nice and thoughtful of my Grandpa that he sent a newspaper clipping and a little note to J:)
Love you guys! Can’t wait until our beach vaca in 1.5 weeks:)
