Dear Grandpa Great,

Dear Grandpa Great,

I cannot believe that it has been an entire year since you left us, an entire year since I have written you a letter, and an entire year since I have sent you pictures of my kids, your great grandkids.

There are so many things I want to tell you!

• Princess can read now. Education was always so important to you. I remember you would walk me over to your big console television set where you kept pictures of the family and ask, "Do you know how many years of education this family has?" Then you would just smile that knowing, proud, happy smile of yours that went all the way to your eyes.
• Prince is really into sports now. You were quite the athlete in your day so I know you would be proud of him! He has taken to sports like a fish takes to water.
• My little Knight is three now! He loves music and hums all day long. He likes to watch Little Einsteins so he mostly hums classical music. You were a musician. I remember when my sister played the saxaphone in high school. You would take a turn on her saxaphone and we were awed!
• I want to tell you all about the deck that DadOf3 built. You did a lot of home improvements in your house too. When we re-did our kitchen, you were very interested and wanted to see pictures. I think you would have liked the deck too.
• I want to tell you about my 5K because you didn't know I was going to do that. I think you would have been proud of me and patted me on the hand with a big smile on your face.

We miss you, Grandpa Great! I especially miss you during this month of writing letters. I used to write you at least every other week. The kids coloreded pictures, and we sent snapshots whenever we could. You liked pictures like I do. It occured to me as I was writing my Christmas letter last year and telling about my blog, that I started this thing because I missed writing letters to you.

I love you Grandpa Great!

Love, MomOf3
