During our trip to Colorado for my cousin's wedding this past weekend, we also visited our Grandpa Bernie. With Grandpa being 92, his physical health is immaculate {note: he had everyday rituals along with healthy habits his whole life...literally the man has a full head of hair and NO wrinkles}, but his mental health is slowly drifting away. Even though it is sad to witness, we will always remember his eccentric sayings and hilarious humor.
Inside his room, he had a picture of The Hubbs and I pinned up on his bulletin board. It made me smile knowing that even though he may not remember us, he still is able to see people that love him.
Yesterday, I decided we would send Grandpa Bernie a Chocolate Chip Cookie Care package, along with a picture of us and a note that said...
We love you Grandpa! Enjoy the cookies! Be a good boy!
When I was in college and in the beginning of my Chicago life, I would send all of my grandparents {Nina and Grandma & Grandpa Bernie} little care packages with cookies and a card. It let them know that I was thinking of them. Now that Grandpa is my last grandparent alive, The Hubbs and I want to do as much as we can to let him know we are thinking of him.
I hope y'all let someone you love know that you are thinking of them today!! A simple phone call, email, text message or hand written note can truly turn someone's ordinary day into extraordinary!!
