My Grandson's Toys;Christmas Memories Dear Edward: You grew from Little League to be Varsity star! Sadly, we rarely see much of one another anymore. So Grandma, finds happiness in your once beloved, boyhood toys. It's like being with you, even though you are now driving a sleek car and havingfun with other teenage boys. Your first shiny, hot wheels, are still all here. Even your wood blocks, that I still hold dear! Do you remember your very first phone? Toys that were never ruined by crazed technology? All that automaticity, requiring no imagination at all, just pure, expensive folly! The humungous stuffed doggie you once loved so much, his eyes so sad, he wants your touch. Your toy soldiers stand at alert~just Waiting for you. I tell them, be patient, he is coming back for you.. Alas, I cannot tell those attentive eyes, that this is totally untrue! I keep our New Years horns in the hutch. I want to see them daily, they sparkle just like you! And on New Years Eve, we always had had our fun annual date. You, my grandson, I admired your piano playing, and still being on the honor roll,too. But this house is so heartless and empty now without you. And next year, off to university you will go. I wish you love and success in the glory of those swirling, Midwestern, Christmas snows! Love, success and good wishes! Grandma xoxo 12/18/2024

Elena, how right you are, i did hfall in love with him om day one! What a joy it was to hold a new life in my arms, and he was so tiny. Now he comes in my living room at 6 foot two.2. He has received more honors and accolades, even from president # 46! I never got anything like that from a president? But then I was not as smart as Eddie nor as accomplished You know what I mean, don’t you? Thank you. Pangie. Any kid who can make a movie at age 5 on an iPad is something else! Look out, Spielberg!)) I mean, it had titles credits and everything. Wow,

Aw, grandma. Gotta let go a little. Let Eddie be Eddie. It's his turn to be out there with the wind at his back and the whole world at his command... :) gw

Gershon,I have always let him be sehimelf! And I always will. I love the way you express yourself in this kind. It is just beautiful.. but I want you to know. I have no reason to give him any guidance anymore.. that ended a long time ago. He knows where to find answers about life’s questions and they are not with me. I am far to Xanny to give advice to him or anyone. In the end, let me ask you this….who listens, anyway? He is well on his way to having a good life and I am very proud to say that I am his grandmother. He was a gift given to me by God.. thank you.Pangie

As I read this Pangie I can feel your soul crying and longing for your beloved grandson Edward. The toys bring back heartfelt memories that you will forever have stored in your mind and heart, although they are fond memories they are memories Of wishing the years didn't steal your grandson away from when he was so cute watching him enjoy his toys and be with his loving grandma. This broke my heart Pangie because I sense your pain in missing those days with your beloved Eddie. A fav hugs...

. I don’t know how I missed the phone.. I remember writing the reply so I don’t know what happened. You have known him since you he was a little boy. And you know what he looks like now he’s very handsome and 6 foot two., more importantly, he is a good Christian and I think that will fit him well in life. He really knows his Bible very well.. I know that things are not perfect in the world, but we can work to make it a better world by being better people. Word is not coming back to rescue us from anything.. he will come back when the world is sane and peaceful. We cannot sell pangie out evil in any form. Pangie ss

Yes! I read my poetry aloud to Maria. I can hear worse something is missing or not right that way.. if she is not here, then I read it loud to myself. Poetry a recipe for food or narg. It is lurixal. More lime a song, happy Holisays. Pangie xx
