 My sweet Bryce.

I don't write in this as much as I should but know I love you more than anything and you are the sweetest girl to have around.  

You are now thirteen and I put your ring in a donut box and gave to you.  Your parents got you a phobe and you were so excited about that. You had a great  birthday celebration with your family and your friends. 

You are back in school and the thrill has worn off, but still you are happy there and that makes me happy. 

Papa and I just got new phones and you were so excited, you were looking it all over and said "oh grami, can I have this phone when you get a new one!"  haha.  I said "of course, however, you will probably get a new one before me at this point., so maybe I can buy you one someday"

I hope you always keep your great relationship with your mama because she can offer very good advice on lots of things.  And there will be times when you just need someone elses opinion and God does speak through other people and we have to be willing to ask. 

I love you so much now and forever.

 My sweet Bryce,

You and Aly came to the lake house and you each brought a friend with you.  It was such a nice time and Papa and I sure enjoyed it. 

You are so great with all the little cousins and they love you so much.  

You turn thirteen this summer, so I thought it would be nice to buy you a nice piece of jewelry, so we went shopping and looked at several places.  You don't know which one i picked out and I don't know how I am going to give it to you yet. But your mama said you are so excited to get it and are wondering about it. 

I can't believe you are going into 7th grade and you are SO excited to go back to school this year.  The one day we were talking about it and I think you were almost shaking, you were so excited.

Remember to always please yourself, don't give up yourself to please other people.  You are a great person and people will always want to be with you.  Follow your dreams

I love you'

 My dear Bryce,

You are growing into such a beautiful young lady inside and out.  I love you so much.

You and your family came to Florida to spend a week with Papa and I since it was a home schooling year because of quarantine.  We didn't do a whole lot, it was just low key and relaxing.

I gave you a journal for you to make notes when you travel because we all forget things we do and what was the best.  You wrote in it and I hope you will  continue to see how many pages you can fill up.

You drove the golf cart all around and loved doing that. 

I can't believe you will be a teenage this year.  How did that happen?

Remember you can always succeed in whatever you set your mind to and I love you

xxoo
