Today, my husband and I got a letter in the mail from Arizona.  More specifically, from our 6 year old granddaughter in Phoenix.  I’ve mentioned before that our three grandchildren lived with us for a period of time a bit over a year ago.  We’ve done our best to keep in touch with them, initially through phone calls and packages; and now, through the less frequent Facebook messages and (two) letters from the youngest.

The relationship we have with the kids’ mother, my stepdaughter, is more than just a little strained–for a variety of reasons.  Since I have another blog where I’m hoping to reveal that journey, I won’t go into much more here.  What I would like to share with you is today’s delivery from Coco, in an envelope that was clearly addressed by her mother.

Thank you, Angela, for sending this beautiful letter.
