I have written letters to her for her future birthdays....and for her wedding day...in case I am not here to tell her in person the things I want to share with her on those wonderful days.

I am an emotional type and that almost brought tears to my eyes. I'm writing these Saturday. Thanks. BTW, I'm running an hour late staying on this thread (definately worth it)

Writing the letters keeps me focused on how special my granddaughter is to me. I tell her now....and I'll tell her in the future, either in person or in the letters.
I'm glad you like the idea...:)

I told everyone before that my parents are in their eighties. Another thing that I did last year was to write each of them a letter on their birthday, telling them why they were so special to me, and thanking them for all they had done. As you can imagine, that was a big hit with them. Part of the reason for this thread is to jog that thought for everyone. The only time we have for sure is NOW. We need to make sure our loved ones know how we feel. If Only, are very sad words.
