This is beautiful! On my first great-grandson's birthday, his parents asked me to write a letter to him to be read on his 18th birthday. It was a fun mission and I hope it is truly being held somewhere. Thanks for sharing this lovely letter. ann

Comment from Ginda Simpson
What a lovely idea this is to document your times together in a continuous stream of letters, an art that seems to be dying. More importantly, these memories will be cherished and lessons will be learned. All too soon, they are grown, and they will carry these memories and lessons in their hearts.

Love your letter and your granddaughter is just lovely! Thank you for sharing the picture and yes, we grandparents here know to keep things private!
One extra word 'age' here:
I'll continue to ask that question as [age] you get older.

Powerful, rebellious and straight to the point. I too, have a four year old granddaughter named Eleanor. She rides horses, feeds and cares for the chickens and plays guitar with grandpa. Old McDonald farm is her favorite.
E I E I O.
All the best, Yard.

Children are such a joy at this age, but the teenage years are coming.
Some handle those years with ease, but others struggle. Trick or treat?

Why the cute little girl ahead door the makeup she's wearing so sweet. And a very good moral to your story as well. Absolutely, you should be true to yourself and always be true to others too. Tell the truth, then you never have to go around. Wondering what advice you've told so great submission.
I really enjoyed it. I wish you the best of luck and a great evening!

Comment from Wendy G
She's a beautiful child and your four wishes for her life are insightful, thoughtful, and filled with love. Over here, teachers are not allowed to post photos of children on Facebook or any social media without written permission from parents. It's generally a big "No no!", and is not done at all. Too many perverts and paedophiles lurking, and sometimes there is a domestic violence situation, or fear of abduction by a disenfranchised partner. Your family could consider requesting her to stop doing that.

Edit: I'll continue to ask that question as age you get older. (Delete "age")

Thank you for the support. I appreciate it. I have deleted the extra word. Thank you for the catch. At the school I taught at we weren't either. I never did. I'm not sure what's going on in this school.

Great choice of wishes, Barbara. I love the way that you are positively reinforcing their good qualities in these letters.
I am certain this will be something they treasure when you are long gone.
Good job, Grandma.
