Dear Grandma and Grandpa,

I know it's long past Grandparents Day, and it's not either of your birthdays, but if there are two people that deserve some recognition and appreciation, it's you two. You've watched me grow up, from my first day of kindergarten to my high school graduation. You've been there through it all and I have one thing to say: thank you.

Thank you for always putting your family first. Never have I ever met more selfless people! Whether it's hosting holidays, always saying "yes" to babysitting, traveling hours and hours to watch us play sports...the list is truly endless.

Thank you for supporting me always. Growing up, you sat through each and every three-hour dance recital, cheered me on at every single volleyball game, and were there to congratulate me on any honor I've ever received, big and small. I truly consider you two, to be two of my number one fans! Behind Mom and Dad, of course!

Thank you for showing me your love for God. I so greatly admire your relationship with Him as well as your dedication to living like a great Christian in general. You bring yourselves to church each and every Sunday, sure, but it's more than that. You two put your faith first, and place your lives in God's hands. That's the way to live.

Thank you for providing for me an example of what the true meaning of family is. You two have created and spread so much love on this earth. You've brought to life and raised so many wonderful people that I love so much and can't picture my life without. Our family is complete because of you two. I mean, if it weren't for you two, we certainly wouldn't be around!

So, here's to you two. I love you both endlessly!

Your granddaughter
