 My sweet Lorelei,

You have been texting me every day since we came home to ask how we are doing, and to ask how Papa is after we lost Lucy. You are always worried about us. And you always ask what we are doing and what we did all day.

One text you sent me was, you are amazing and beautiful and I love you so much and I hope you have a wonderful day today. Love you grandma and you are so cool. It cracked me up. I had to send a copy of it to your dad, and he wanted to know why you were buttering me up, haha

One night you told me you had a soccer game and you were very very tired and I said oh then maybe you could go to bed early and you said no thanks I’m good with my normal schedule.

You have been texting Bryce and aunt Staci also. I just absolutely love getting all your texts.

I love you so much

Xxoo

 My dear Lorelei,

You are such a sweetheart, Papa and I were at your house this past weekend and you certainly do enjoy us being there. We got to see you play a soccer game and you scored a goal and assisted in a couple other goals. You were very good. Every morning and evening we took a walk with Lucy and you would hold her leash. Lucy would not eat a couple mornings and when we got home we took her to the vet and found out she is loaded with cancer. You called me last night on FaceTime, and your little face was so sad. I don’t think you even knew what to say. You did ask me if you would ever see Lucy again, and I had to tell you no. Then, you just didn’t know what to say you were so teary-eyed, same as me. She was such a good girl, and we sure will miss her.

We were talking about Bryce, and I can’t remember what we were all saying, but you asked me. Oh no, is she in college already? And I said no she’s not, and you said oh thank goodness I was worried. You also have her contact info to be able to text her And you certainly enjoy texting all your family

Your dad gave you an old iPad so you were able to text me now and I just love that, you send me love letters all the time or emojis and it makes me so happy.

I love you honey

Xxoo
