Ok – So I’ve been intending post this since JULY – which was Hannah’s birthday. Below is a letter my mom sent me. Hannah had left notes (unbeknownst to me) all over my grandma’s kitchen while we visited. My grandmother enjoyed it so much, that my mom decided to use the same idea for a birthday surprise for Hannah. I’m so glad she did. I was very sick on Hannah’s birthday this year, but we had these hidden the night before. This isn’t the original letter. The original letter has Granny’s signature and a funny smiley face by each slip. J
*Cynda, please hide these notes around the house on Hannah’s birthday. Grandma Lola enjoyed them so much that I thought Hannah might, also.
Hannah, you have grown to be a beautiful young lady both inside and outside! -Granny
What are you doing? Write me sometime and tell me. -Granny
Hannah, we are planning to come to Kentucky either in August or September. Help us think of something fun we can do together. -Granny
Hannah, one of my favorite verses is, “Be still and know that I am God,” but I don’t know where it is found in the Bible. Do you know? -Granny
Hannah, I like your cooking. I would really enjoy some sugar cookies right now! -Granny
Hannah, I really like the way you do things for other people. You left Grandma Lola nice notes. You wrote Andrea a letter. -Granny
Hannah, I really like the color of your hair. Maybe you think it is just brown but it has some natural blonde highlights that just shine in the sun. -Granny
God gave you a great mind, Hannah. I pray that you will use it and be all God wants you to be. -Granny
Hannah, I like the way you help your parents. You are especially good at helping your mother inside the house. I know that the way you listen to her teachings, you, too, will be an excellent mother and wife.
Therefore, you will be happy. That’s what I want for you. -Granny
Hannah, tell your siblings that I love them and miss them too. I even miss your mom and dad! I feel the need to come to Kentucky. -Granny
Hannah, I have been making bread and butter pickles, and I am tired of smelling them. What is your favorite kind of pickles? -Granny
Hannah, I like the clothes you wear. You always look nice.
