Letters to my Grandchild

Hello my darling, Another year is coming to an end, and what a year it has been. You passed grade 6 with being home for 3 terms with mom doing homeschool. You actually did really well. You have been back to school for the last term and you are much happier to be with your friends again.  On the 10 of December you had your second 'booster' Covid Vaccination.  'Ouch' Then a HUGE fright!  Alex, Sharon, Greg, Dennis, Rita, Gumpie and I all had covid in the middle of December!!   Fortunately we have all been double vaccinated so didn't have it badly.  I think Rita was most affected and Gumpie the least affected.  I was wpman-down for a night and day when I shivered, sweated, coughed and slept for 24 hours.  After that I felt better but we have all had lingering fatigue and find it challenging to do any chores for any length of time.

Hello my darling, In the middle of exams you cracked a finger.  You had it Xrayed and you can see the fracture. You were able to use a scribe for your last test. Your Dad had many cracked fingers, toes, ribs, and other small bones.  We never counted them, pnly the long bone fractures.  Somethimes I wish that there had been a pamidronate treatment for him when he was a baby.  I'm sure he would've been just as active as you and would have had far less fractures.  But, there was nothing like that in the 1970s qand we are just grateful that you have been saved from being really fragile. You went to watch Cristina at her horse riding We decided to put solar lights on our path and also on our tree in the front.  They look very pretty!
