Barbara,
This beautiful dedication to your granddaughter is one of the most beautiful I've read. What struck me most were your four wishes.
When she gets older and reads this she'll understand how much you love her.
Blessings,
Cindy

Thank you for the support. I appreciate it.

It's fantastic, Barbara.
My mom wrote me practically every day when I was in the Army, in College, and anywhere else I was when away from home.
They weren't deep letters: the dog is fine, your aunt is in the hospital, etc. But it sure was nice to hear from her daily before cell phones.
When I moved a few years ago I lost them.

That constant contact is nice.

Good luck, Barbara! (I forgot this in Th e review.)

Mi biggest wish for you and your beautiful grand daughter would be for your wishes for her to come true. Sadly, there is only so much we as individuals can do. Prayer is wonderful, but it is never a complete hedge against adversity. That is where strength of character has to step in and try to carry the day. Happily, this can be taught and reinforced with consistency.

Comment from Teri7
Barbara, This is a very sweet letter you have written for Eleanor. What an adorable picture of her. I know you have to miss seeing them. We are blessed to live close to our only grandson. Greyson is 9 years old now and he doesn't want to spend as much time with Mam Maw and Pap Pap like he used to. It really breaks my heart. I hope you can move closer to your closer to them while they are still small! love and blessings, Teri

What a wonderful story. The wishes you have for Eleanor are perfect. I can imagine her reading this someday in the future, and how she will follow your wishes. I'd love to see the girls' faces when they read you book for them.

This is so wonderful dear Barbara... I fell in love with sweet Eleanor and wish I could hug her. Little girls are so dear and say such amazing things...
My daughter said all sorts of things that I wrote down... Just need to find the papers...

I don't think there's anything more appealing than the photos of my grandchildren and other's grandchildren, except the in the minds of the not so innocent, beautiful little girl, beautiful letter, well done Barbara, well done, blessings Roy
Typo : Question (age) you get older, as? 2: Eleanor's photo (for) her

Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
She is a cutie and I love that pragmatic response of hers when she's older! I can relate to the battle you've had with her parents about posting this picture. I've also been put in my place by my son who still doesn't know that I've already posted a picture of my granddaughter! I think those are wonderful wishes for her and I heartily agree with your own lesson learned. In fact I was actually discussing it a few days ago in relation to my friends, one of whom is always trying to be something she's not - and it's quite transparent to everyone else but herself. Well done, Barbara! You're definitely getting into the swing of this now! Debbie

Thank you for the kind support. I have honored my son's wishes up to this point. Since Charlotte's teacher has her on FaceBook, if figure we're safe here.
