Messages to Grandchildren

What a lovely person you are Minty! Yes, indeed, merry Christmas

Mines on there somewhere!!

Makes me smile just looking at the tree.
So thoughtful of you.

You must dread the rain though Minty

I always keep the messages as they are so precious, so over the last 10 years I have 1,000's, I wish every year that no one will need to write a message, which would mean that estrangement and alienation was no longer happening. I live in Hope.x

A tree of hope.

The weather is fine, the messages are written on plastic labels that I cut out from modelling sheets and I use waterproof pens. If a grandparent sends a card then I laminate them, so all the wind, rain, snow doesn't spoil them.
Mind you I did learn the hard way!
I was once seen chasing up the road as messages blew off the tree, they are now tied so tight, they wont go anywhere.

Oh wow! what a lot of work on our behalf.

Sounds as if you've given it a lot of thought.

This is so sweet ❤️

Hello Minty, I am new to Gransnet so I have only just seen the lovely idea of your tree. I have sent a message for my daughter and grandchildren. Hope its not too late, feels like a beacon of hope x

I keep coming on this thread to look at the tree Minty. It's comforting to know that our message to our GC is there.

Have a 'Merry Christmas' and thank you for making ours that little bit easier with your tree of hope.

Just wanted to pop by and thank everyone who sent messages to their grandchildren, we had well over 100 messages this year. So many people stopped and read the messages and asked about it, always a good way to raise awareness. So thank you all again, and I hope that 2020 is a year where more and more grandchildren are reunited with their grandparents.

Bless you Minty.

I hope so too Minty! Happy New Year

Thank you minty. Happy New you to you and your family.
