"How to write a letter to your Gramma"
The new generation seems to have trouble knowing how to
write to old people so I have decided to give them an example.
Dear Gramma,
We are concerned about you as none of us
have heard from you in a long, long while.
We hope you are doing well.
Some think
you don't write because they have complained
about too many emails.
Everyone gets too many emails, well, except you, I guess.
Some think that it is because you
were always giving us advice and
we never took it, so you are mad at us.
Some think it is because you can no longer
afford to send us money and gifts as you
have stopped doing that too.
Some think that maybe since you never invited us to your
home but always said we could come when we
asked that maybe cooking and cleaning
before our visits became too hard for you.
You always looked very tired even though you
were all smiles and polite when we came.
Some think that maybe since your leg and hip
have been so painful for so long that even though
you are not quite 80, that the pain was
just getting too much to bear.
Some think that maybe you ran out of stuff to give the little
ones as they so enjoyed the bags of goodies
that you always gave to them. Some think that
even though they have written and complained about how unfair you
are, and how you don't
appreciate the photos we send, and don't like what we write in
facebook, so you deleted us, that maybe you just don't like us anymore.
Some think that maybe it is because we have so
many kids now, that you are just plain overwhelmed.
Since your Great grandchildren are getting close to their teen years
we get very tired and overwhelmed too.
Some think you have stopped writing to all of us because
some have treated you badly and sassed you and we
know you don't like to be sassed.
Well, whatever it is, we wanted you to know
that we haven't forgotten you and are
still waiting to hear from you.
Love,
Your Grandchildren
