A Letter to My Grandchildren

This letter is forEmma Rose
Written onMarch 2, 2026
The day I first held you, I rememberSnow on the window, your father crying harder than you were
Something about you I never want to forgetYou hum when you're concentrating. You don't know you do it.
What our family is like, in case you forgetLoud at dinner, quiet at church, always early to the airport
A mistake I made that you can skipWaiting to say things out loud
What I was like at your ageBarefoot, always reading
If I could give you one thing, it would beThe nerve to be kind first, even when it costs you something
Read this again whenYou're 18. And again when you have your own.
With love,Grandma Ruth
