Dear Sara and Analise,
This past week was your second birthday. Your Grandma Lisa and I felt sad because we couldn’t be there to celebrate with you. It is the year 2020 which will go down in modern history as one of the strangest times, certainly the strangest in my lifetime.
Grandma Lisa and I were at your house in California after you were born. We came to see you in the hospital when you were very tiny babies. You were born premature and mom had to stay with you in the hospital. We took care of Max until you were big enough to come home.
It was so fun to take care of you when you came home from the hospital. Grandma Lisa and I took turns with your dad getting up in the middle of the night when you woke up. I remember getting up in the middle of the night with your mom when she was just born. She would look at me with eyes wide open. I thought she was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen and I still do. I was 24 years old.
We will be around as much as we can while you are growing. I have a few thoughts to share. I don’t know how wise they are, but here goes.
Be kind, especially to people who are not kind to you.
Lots of people love you. And it is not your job to make them happy. It is their job to love you and teach you how to be responsible women.
Always pick your sister and brother. They will be with you a long time. Sharing memories together when you are older will be the best. Especially when you are as old as me.
Mom said you will get these letters when you turn 18. What an exciting time for you. Be happy and know that I love you. Nana aka
