Barbara, when your granddaughters are able to read this, they will feel your love with each word and understand your wishes for them.
This is a wonderful and beautiful letter that every grandchild should receive.
Your presentation compliments your words.
Best wishes,
Mary

-Nice artwork and good letter, barbara. I can't say I blame your son and daughter-in-law
about posting their pictures on social media. You never know what hands they might fall into even with really good intentions.

I think the girls will appreciate knowing how much you loved them even before they were born and they can apply that to their own experiences one day. It sounds like you were very encouraging about each step they took in learning language and developing their interests.
I think they will also appreciate knowing how they spoke up for themselves even at a young age.

Thanks for sharing the notes and lessons learned. Well done.

I enjoyed reading your letter in the way that you expressed your love for your granddaughters even before they were born. Your writing, you set it beautifully and it is very well done. Your letter articulates the great sense of perspective that hat older generations have of the little kids. Thank you for sharing.

I enjoyed reading your letter which you expressed your love for your granddaughters even before they were born. I am glad you are honouring the wishes of their parents, not posting their pictures

Barbara, this is very well done. You set it beautifully, and it comes with a strong last paragraph, and the last few lines are poignant. Next week's prompt sounds very interesting. Good Job. Terry.

Amazing watching your children frow up to be what they wish to be. Some good, some bad. But either way, it keeps a prayer life going for either. Good one, Barb.

This is an interesting letter. Technically, it reads as though you are addressing a single girl, especially the end. I think I would fix that, e.g. by using plurals in the last two paragraphs and changing the beginning to Dear Charlotte, Dear Eleanor. kay

    Thank you for the kind support. I envisioned the girls reading them separately. I need to figure this out.

In this letter I think you articulated that great sense of perspective that older generations have of the little kids. They see all the possibilities, all the hopes and dreams, even in those moments when these children are the most vulnerable and just hanging on to this life. And you articulate the love for them that will always be there, no matter what or where life takes them, good choices or bad that they make. estory

Hi Barbara, I'm sure the girls will love these letters you're writing to them they will get to a bit more about and how your love and feeling are about them.
Some funny letters are appearing in the heading. I don't know why. Ulla:)))

Nice work. Nicely written letter.
Good idea about keeping kids' pictures off the internet, but does he hold to that regarding FaceBook? I'd be a little surprised.
Best wishes.

    Especially FaceBook. He doesn't even have an account. He hates it. Thank you for your kind support.
