“My grandparents are around me in all different ways. I can feel them in the wind, and in the flight of the butterflies”Today I’m going to write a letter straight from the heart, hoping that words can explain what my grandparents mean to me. I’d like to capture on a piece of paper every afternoon we spent in the park, the delicious aromas from grandma's kitchen, the crazy stories I have always been told, and the stories they whispered in my ear at nightfall. I know that when I grow up, those memories will keep on guiding me for many, many years, and I will cherish the tenderness you inspire forever.
This story about unconditional love and gratitude towards life will fill your hearts with tenderness and create a safe environment to share a magic moment with your children.
