A Thank You Letter To My Grandparents

No amount of words could thank you enough.

A Thank You Letter To My Grandparents

You were there from the beginning. You loved us like we were your own. You might not be our parents but you are pretty dang close. I know the words that I am about to write could never express the absolute gratitude that you guys deserve. I know that I don't say it enough but I love you with my whole heart.

In my several years in nursing school, I have seen multiple elderly people sicker than you couldn't imagine. When I leave the hospital, I say a little prayer that God granted me another day with you both in my life. I know I don't say it enough but the time that we spend together I will remember for the rest of my days.

The memories of the both of you while I was growing up mean so much to me. I will never forget countless summers spent at your house. The hours of swimming in your pool, going to football games, and multiple evenings after school when you watched me and Emily. I could never thank you enough.

I know that as time goes on, we seem to see each other less and less. But times that we spend together mean the world. I know that there are children out there who would kill for the perfect set of grandparents like you. You were the extra set of parents every child needs.

I appreciate all that you do for me and Emily and no amount of money or time could make it up to you. I hope that someday when I have children of my own that they get to experience the wonderful grandparents — that will then be great great grandparents like I did.

Know that no matter where life takes me I will always be your little girl. I will always be that little girl who wants to play in the pool and eat lunch meat sandwiches with you. I know that someday I will regret all the time that I could have spent with you.

Although we might not say it, we appreciate all that you do for us. From slipping us money on the side, and giving us rides from place to place without even giving it a second thought. All your time and effort doesn't go unnoticed. Emily and I love both of you with every inch of our hearts and want you to know that we will always be there for you no matter what life throws our way.

Love,

Your Granddaughters

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
