Happy New Year Clara & Mary

Hey Clara;

I have a card for you to start off the year. I will attach the video shortly. In the meantime, I want you to hear this song by James Taylor that I am learning to play on my guitar for you. Just so you know, I am always here for you and look forward to hearing about all the things you are learning about in your young age.  Much Love, Opa

 

Message to Mary & Clara

It has been such a beautiful fall day today and yesterday at Windy Heron House. I know Mary, you would love today. You always loved the fall because it got closer to your birthday and CHRISTMAS!

Love you both beyond measure.

Upcoming Celebration

It would be about this time of year that Mary was so excited about having a baby. Darren was as well. The love they had for each other at that time was vibrant and alive. Their love for an unborn child was united.

Jan 2018 Gift to Clara

Hey Mary;

I am sending this to Clara for her to write about her life adventures and create pictures. Someday she may read this and know we were thinking about her today.

Love you!

Clara & the Purple Dress

Mary loved pink and purple. When she was young, purple was her favorite colour.  One Sunday, Mary, and Clara were out for a walk and passed by a dress shop that had a purple dress in the window. Clara, then Jack, fell head over heels in love with the dress in the window. Mary, being aware of the cost of such a dress tried in vain to interest Clara in any other dress in the window. Clara would have no part of it.

The next day they went to the store and again, Mary attempted to sway Clara’s thinking toward something less expensive.  No go. Clara was adamant. Mary loved Clara so much and admired Clara’s clarity and bought her the dress. Here is a picture near the dress shop the day they bought it.
