Grandma and Grandpa, I hope you're both eating well, and that Grandpa is still pretending he doesn't sneak a second slice of pie. I know Grandma sees everything from the kitchen. I'm sending love from far away, and I'd gladly trade you my sad desk lunch for a slice.
How to write your own
- Include one small detail from your day, like what you cooked, what you saw, or what the weather is like where you are.
- Tell them you wish they were there for something specific, rather than using a general line about distance.
- Ask a simple question about their day, so the message starts a conversation.
- Mention a plan for the next call or visit, even a loose one, so they have something to look forward to.
- Remind them that the distance doesn't change how close you feel, using your own everyday words.
