Dear Grandpa L

Dear Grandpa L,
Another Christmas has past, another year too. I can't believe it's 3 days from New Years eve...time seems to be going by so fast. Did all the years go by fast for you too? I feel like the older I get the faster time moves. It's getting better day by day though and I'm enjoying all the things I've thrown myself into.
I'm glad we had Christmas with you guys this year, I really enjoyed our day and wish I could be around for more holidays. I'm happy where I am though in Newfoundland and it's almost worth missing my family for...though I'd like to be closer to everyone some day. The East coast just doesn't seem to be for our family. You moving back from Toronto...and me hoping that in some point I'll be able to come back West once I'm done all my schooling. I imagine Nevada likes it enough to stay there though, so maybe the East isn't so bad for all of us.
I hope that 2014 brings a lot of good things for you. You've been doing so well and I'm so happy for you in that regard. I'm praying that we'll have many more times together in the years to come and that you'll have the strength you need to get through your days. Don't do too much in a day and try to get as much rest as you need. You're so blessed to have Grandma to help you out and I love watching the two of you. It makes me want to grow old with someone who's as loving as the two of you are and who cares about the other so much. It's so encouraging to see you two married for over 50 years when everything seems to be falling apart in our culture around us.
Well I hope you have a good New Years and if I don't see you before I leave, know that I love you and keep you near to my heart as I go about day by day. Every time it gets tough in NL I remind myself of what you did going to Toronto and how you survived it.
Love you.
Sincerely,
Yvette
