Day Five;

Day Five; Write a letter to a loved one.

There are so many people I could write a letter to and I probably would pick my boyfriend, but since I just wrote a post about him the other day which has a lot of what I would write in a letter, already said, so therefore I think it best to pick someone else. I shall write a letter to my Poppa. The only thing is, I feel like today's writing challenge is a bit too personal to just share with anybody and everybody, so I think for today. I'm going to do this one on actual paper, but, because that would make this post totally pointless and doing the 30 day writing challenge on this blog useless, instead I'll take this opportunity just to share a bit about my poppa, before I go and write the letter.

My Poppa.

I share my birthday with my Poppa. We were both born October 5th. My Poppa was (and still is) my best friend, always will be. I was the first and only granddaughter he's ever had/known, as he died just before my sister was born, and all his other grandchildren were boys. Because I was his only granddaughter (and not to mention the shared birthday) he called me his Princess. When I was a baby, my parents filmed me all the time and so now I have a couple of videos of me as a baby till about age 3. I love watching those videos and my favourite part is always seeing my 2nd birthday party which I shared with Poppa and at one point I'm sitting on his lap, in his chair (he couldn't walk around) while everyone sang happy birthday to both of us.
He died when I was very young, only 3 years old, but I remember so much. I remember what he looks like (not just because of the videos), I remember the way he sounded when he talked which wasn't always often but I remember when I'd sit on his lap and he'd make funny voices and pretend to be different cartoon characters to make me laugh. I remember that he'd always have a blanket over his lap while sitting in his chair. I remember his smile. There's not really a lot to remember but everything that I do remember seems so important not to forget, every little detail. I love him dearly and I miss him so much. He was amazing and I will never forget him.
