Recently my family was heartbroken when my parents decided to move to California for a job opportunity. DJ and I are super close with my parents. I will admit there were tears from us when they left. We lost our good friends and our family support. However, our sadness does not even compare to what our children felt to have their grandparents move away.
We still talk to them on the phone just about everyday. We also Skype a couple of times a week, but Miss O still misses them. She has recently taken to coloring pictures for them and requesting they be mailed to her Memma and Poppy. After the letters are sealed and addressed, Miss O loves to decorate the envelopes to make them extra pretty and bright. The photos above are from the very first letter she mailed to California. It was such a sweet moment. I am so thankful that I caught it on camera.
Once my parents started receiving regular letters from Miss O, they started sending her mail as well. She has been getting postcard of cute animals found in their area of California. Mail time is now a special time, and the mail man just might be Miss O's favorite person to see walking down our street.
