Listen to This!

Can you hear me? Eh?

They say hearing is the last to go. As we age . . .

My sister and I decided that we would send one another’s grandchildren little cards and gifts through the mail. Her grandson is 9 years old. Mine are 3 and 1. I thought this would be fun.

I did wonder if her little man would remember me. It’s been a couple of years. I know Royce remembers her because she slept at my daughter’s home when she visited.

It wasn’t long and Royce received a black and white cow, you know a Wisconsin cow. There were other farm animals too. I picked up a card for Landen from the bookstore and wrote a little note asking what his favorite color is. I so hope he responds through the mail. Regardless, the next time I send something it will be a crystal in his favorite color.

Backstory: My sister has always been a big card person and of course, some type of confetti was always inserted. At first, the confetti would fall all over the floor. Fun! We got used to it though. She’s so thoughtful.

And so, I talked with my sister the other day and said I sent the card, which reads ‘Here’s a little love . . .’ on the front with a glittered hand and a tiny sideways heart between the thumb and index finger. Inside the card: ‘. . . Just for you.’  

My sister said that it was nice and then dropped the bomb: ‘You’re not going to believe this – it’s Landen’s birthday in two days.’

I’m like wait, what? Hold on. He’s going to get a card from me on his birthday and it’s not a birthday card and it doesn’t have money it. LOL She said she thought his birthday was in October. LOL

We laughed. What else is there to do.

My sister said we’re getting older, and we forget things. I’m like don’t put me in that box yet. She said she’d slip him a $20 from me for his birthday.

The real hoot of this is: I had to call her to get reminded of his name, even though I just wrote it on an envelope the other day. And I’m a psychic medium! LOL

I wonder if the box is big enough for everyone!

Blessings of Peace and Love
