I shop Target for little things that they would want: Pokeman cards for Xavier, and baby Zum Zum pet for Violet--complete with baby bottle and a few other little items. I also fill snack bags with small amounts of treat items--a few jelly beans, a few M&M's , and today a small cereal bar.
The kids are ecstatic as though I brought them heaven in a bag (gramma's bag that is). I know that with every visit I'm telling these kids that they are loved. And they will remember. I know that I will never forget my grandpa's gifts to me--yes they were small gifts but they told me that papa loved me. Knowing that was important to me. As an growing up woman, and a human who had a mix of good and bad in my life, papa's love sustained me.
