Letter to Grandparents

Dear Grandmother and Grandfather

I carry this bracelet with me that is braided brown leather with a silver bar holding them together, that you gave me for my 18th Birthday because when I wear it I feel like I am closer to you and whenever I see I am wearing it I know that I have you close to me. I know that I don’t get to see you both very often, but the bracelet will always remind me of all the times we have shared together and for all the time we can have together in the future. The fact that I don’t get to see you both as much as I should also makes me feel guilty, but when I wear it, it makes me feel like there should be no guilt because you have bought me something special, it makes me feel like you care about me. Although the bracelet you bought me reminds me of you, and how much I miss you, without the bracelet I would still be in the same place, because no present could change how much I miss you and how much I want to spend time with you. It’s not about how expensive, or how big the present is, its about the thought and that is what is most important to me.
