A Little Momentum

Taking a moment out of my very busy cleaning day to write this down. I found a card today from my grandpa that was the very last one I ever received from him. It was one of those cards you hold on to because you know that one day you will need to re-read what it said and take in the full meaning to it. When I find small treasures like these, I love rediscovering them. It sends a feeling all over my body as if my grandpa wanted my to find it or that he knew I needed to read it. So here is why I am posting this. I am going to write down in this post, word for word what it says. <3

Just a Little Note...
for You to Keep
Though I can't always be there with you, these words can be.
So I want you to save this in a special place and,
every now and then,
think of me...
 (open card)

(Left side reads...)
I want you to set this card aside and remember it when you're feeling wonderful,
so you can remind yourself that that's how you make me feel.

I want you to set this aside and save it for the days when things haven't necessarily gone as planned,
and the clouds are hanging around a little longer than the should.
And maybe it will help to cheer you up.

When you get home in the days to come and see this card
sitting on your dresser or your shelf,
remember that I'm probably sitting here,
as I usually do, smiling to think
of all the wonder things about you.

(Then it says:)

Love, Grandpa Ralph


R.I.P. Papa Ralph, I miss you daily and think of you often, big man! xoxo
Wish you could have met Eli. You would have been so proud.
