How I did it: well at first i did not know what to write, but my mom said something that made me open my eyes and realize what would be perfect! she said: "your letters will make them both feel happy. you can at least be helpful!" at first i was like: huh? what is that supposed to mean, but then i understood. her words meant that right now they are grieving for my grandmother. they need to know that my grandma is in a better place and is no longer in pain.
<===== this picture is of my grandmother and grandfather before my grandma died of cancer on October 12, 2008.

Lessons & tips: try asking someone that is close to you. or you can just write what you did that week or what special things have happened. you can even just draw a picture. no matter what it is, they will absolutely love it! just let them know that you care. oh and did you know... there is a grandparents day! my grandmother who recently died never got a card, a letter, or anything that day, so be sure to show you care by giving them something for G-day! it is September14!

Resources: my mother really helped me out on this one!
