Dear Grandma Marian


I'm so glad I've had the chance to spend more time with you in the last couple of years and I hope that we can see each other more often. I'm so glad that my kids have an opportunity to know their great-grandmother, what a blessing! I love the way that every time you're going to see them you have thught of ways to connect with them, or you have something to give them, and you take the time to talk to Archer and you get to know each other better.

When you share pictures of you with your four sisters I often wonder what it must have been like for you growing up, or how you dad must have felt in a house with six women! Were you very close with your sisters? Did you always get along well? And when you grew up and got married and started your own families did you feel closer to your sisters? What things did you learn from your mom about parenting your own children?
