Dear Nan and Pop,
Since you guys are such big supporters of my writing, I figured now would be the perfect time to dedicate an article to you. Even though I've only been around for a small part of your lives, you've been around my entire life and I can't explain how thankful I am for that, but I can start to.
Not everyone is lucky enough to have both grandparents around, let alone have them live nearby. Lucky for me, I've never been further than a 15 minute drive from your house. One of my oldest memories is from when I was waiting outside with my pre-school class to be picked up and Pop showed up in a firetruck with a carseat in the front, proving that I had the coolest grandpa. The car rides never stopped after that, whether it was school, a game, practice, rehearsal, or I was lost at the Garden State Plaza, you guys were always there to pick me up.
Even if it wasn't because I needed a ride, you guys have always been there to support me. Every concert, musical, regatta, or ceremony I could always look into the crowd and see you guys there for me. No matter what my new interest is, you guys constantly support me. A perfect example being these articles, receiving a share from Nan on Facebook and a comment from Pop. Thanks to you guys always telling me how much you enjoy reading every article, I am always trying to become a better writer.
Another one of my favorite memories is the time I walked into the nail salon and the ladies working there immediately knew "I must be Wendy's granddaughter." I love finding out how much you talk about us and it shows how loving you are to not only your children, but also your grandchildren.
Recently, we celebrated your 50th anniversary where I was reminded of just how long you guys have been together and providing a loving environment for everybody in your lives. You guys are full of love that you never hesitate to pass on to others. Whether its through a life-lesson story told by Pop or Nan always having a new bag of chocolate covered pomegranates for me when I walk in the door.
Thank you for always being there for me and everybody in our family, for the countless sleepovers and holiday celebrations in a home that not only I grew up around, but that my mom also grew up in. One of my favorite parts about coming home from college is being able to visit you guys and catch up. Thank you for all that you've done, for loving me unconditionally and for being a part of some of my greatest memories. I don't know where I'd be without you, I love you!
Love,
Hannah
