DEAR MIKKEL


Do you remember climbing the big hill at my mom and dad's house and picking flowers?



You were small enough to ride on Papa-pa's shoulders. Your loved to wear his hat. (He has to wear it so that his head does not get a sunburn ... this year you have so much hair it would be impossible for your head to get a sunburn. You were 5 years old back then. Does that seem like a long time ago?


This year we are having another reunion. You can climb the hill again. It will not seem quite as big as it did when you were little. It has stayed the same size but you are twice as big as you were then. I think we love you twice as much. In 5 more years you will be 15. Will you be twice as tall as you are now? Will you be twice as kind? Being twice as kind would make you twice as smart too! I don't know, however,  how I could love you twice as much as now.

We are excited to see you all at the reunion. AND we hope you have a very Happy Birthday!!

Love Grandma and Papa-pa
