Birthday letter for grandparents

Dear Nana,

Happy 90th birthday! Ninety years is a remarkable number, and you have filled every one of them with love, grit and good humor.

I've been thinking about all the things you have lived through: the changes, the moves, the joys and the losses. You have seen the world turn upside down more than once, and every time you've met it with the same quiet courage and the same warm smile. You always told us that the secret was to keep your hands busy and your heart open. You have done both your whole life.

Our family exists because of you. Your children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren all carry a piece of you, in our recipes, our stubborn streaks, our love of a good story. When we gather today, look around the room. Every face there is part of your legacy.

The letter

Dear Nana,

Happy 90th birthday! Ninety years is a remarkable number, and you have filled every one of them with love, grit and good humor.

I've been thinking about all the things you have lived through: the changes, the moves, the joys and the losses. You have seen the world turn upside down more than once, and every time you've met it with the same quiet courage and the same warm smile. You always told us that the secret was to keep your hands busy and your heart open. You have done both your whole life.

Our family exists because of you. Your children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren all carry a piece of you, in our recipes, our stubborn streaks, our love of a good story. When we gather today, look around the room. Every face there is part of your legacy.

Thank you for the songs you sang to me, the prayers you said for me and the faith you have always had in me. I hope today you feel every bit of the love you've poured into us.

With all my love, now and always,

Make it personal

  1. 1

    Use the name they love. Grandma, Nana, Gran, Grandpa, Pop or Granddad. The family name makes it feel like yours.

  2. 2

    Thank them for one thing. A lesson, a recipe, a summer at their house. Grandparents treasure being remembered.

  3. 3

    Make it easy to keep. Write it in a card or print a letter. Many grandparents reread them for years.
