She's long gone but I managed to hold on to two of her letters, they completely bring her back to me in a way that a photograph can't. I can hear her voice as I read. It's nice.

As I read the letter, I was wishing the grandchild reads your blog and connects back up with it.<br /><br />After my husband and I moved away, m mother wrote me a letter every Monday, and I still have most of them.<br /><br />At about 90 or 91 she couldn't handle the correspondence. It's so nice to have the reminders of when she was still vibrant.<br /><br />You were very blessed to be so close to your grandmother.carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04346285464750146290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8163423095612471504.post-69541803461509689782012-07-30T22:17:07.746-04:002012-07-30T22:17:07.746-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.hznbrqhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10673880717273262469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8163423095612471504.post-48875079527546113272012-07-27T11:04:31.263-04:002012-07-27T11:04:31.263-04:00I appreciated your comment.

I have kept all the letters from my grandmothers, and their handwriting does tell the story of the losses of age.Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01895625114035965626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8163423095612471504.post-13645459609277853592012-07-27T09:56:32.701-04:002012-07-27T09:56:32.701-04:00Thanks Annie!Thanks Annie!Michael Popekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06083697912791290450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8163423095612471504.post-34599107401833018142012-07-27T09:30:43.022-04:002012-07-27T09:30:43.022-04:00I likd your personal comment about the letter.

I have a whole shelf about books and reading and Forgotten Bookmarks fits perfectly.anniebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17728598854622972187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8163423095612471504.post-10915437531045292192012-07-26T17:22:25.569-04:002012-07-26T17:22:25.569-04:00Thanks for sharing your story.

The letter especially touched me today as my nephews and niece have lost their paternal grandmother and are having a hard time understanding the loss. <br />Thanks again...Shawnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14013228403182639232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8163423095612471504.post-19979860794819330032012-07-26T14:11:42.732-04:002012-07-26T14:11:42.732-04:00Grand Mothers are so special, aren't they?
