A Love Letter To Tanner Boston

To celebrate Valentine’s Day, we asked Patch readers to write a love letter to that special someone and let us deliver it. This is Mary Barbeau’s love letter to her grandson, Tanner:

Dear Tanner Boston,

How many ways can I tell you I love you? The day I met you, I knew we had something very special.

When I look at you, my heart flutters and my eyes fill up with happy tears. You’ve shown me what real love is. When I’m not with you my heart misses you.

Because of you I’ve learned so much about what is, or isn’t important. I’ve learned patience and understanding from being with you.

You probably won’t understand this Valentine because you’re only seven years old, but someday when you’re older I hope you’ll read this and know how very special you are to me. Of all the Valentines in the world, I choose you. Every minute with you makes your, Mimi, the happiest Grandmother in the world.

Love comes to all ages...

--Mary Barbeau
