Letter #13 & #14 "Grandparents are there to help the child get into mischief they haven't thought of yet." ~Gene Perret

Dear Grandpa Titensor,

Thank you! I have so many happy memories because of you. When we lived in the basement apartment next door to you and grandma I remember waiting in the driveway for you to come home so that I could help grandpa on the farm. Thank you for letting a talkative little girl tag along to "help". Thank you for reading the Sunday funnies to me every week. You always read them with funny voices so, it was hard for me to understand what was going on but, I enjoyed it anyways. I think that it why reading the funnies is so much better now. Thank you for passing the funny bone to my dad. You two have the same exact humor. Lame dad jokes--that's what I call them :)

Thank you for going on two missions with grandma. Thank you for being such a great example. When you were on your second mission in Adelaide, Australia I missed you so much I named my puppy because of where you were. Now Addie (Adelaide) will always remind me of you and grandma and your great example to the family by serving a mission.

Thank you for raising my dad. You did a pretty good job :) Thank you for letting Kenzie burry all her dead hamsters in your back yard. Thank you for the traditions you have created for our family. Thank you for being an amazing grandpa. I love you!

Dear Grandma T,

I love you so much! Thank you for being so loving and caring. I know you always want the best for me. I remember when I was contemplating quitting college you were very adamant that I should stay in school. Although I took a semester or two off to work for the Utes and go to China, I kept your words with me and here I am, back in school. I thought it was so cool that my grandma was a school teacher. I remember visiting you a couple of times. I was young but i remember. It was the age that I still thought that teachers lived at the school so, seeing you at home and knowing you were a teacher was mind boggling. Thank you for getting an education and making a good career for yourself.

Thank you for being so creative. I love that you write poems. I love it even more that you are really good it at. I have such a creative family and it is because of you. You passed it to my dad and my dad passed it to Russ and Kenzie (too bad I didn't get it) but, I get to enjoy the blessing of everyone's talents. Thank you.

When you and Grandpa were on your first mission in Nebraska, you missed my baptism. I was sad you could not be there but, you sent me a little doll in the mail that said, "Although we are miles apart, our hearts will never part”" I still have that doll. It reminds me of you and that no matter where we are or how far apart we still have love and that keeps us together. Thank you for all your love and support. I love you!
