Letter to Grandmother

Today Addie asked me for a card because she wanted to make Grandmother a card. I went and got out a card and then left her to it. I came back later and found that she had made a card with lots of stickers of dogs and little girls in it 'because Grandmother likes dogs and pretty girls'. A few minutes later I glanced over and saw Addie trying to put a postal stamp on it. I was in a hurry and quickly told her that the letter didn't need a stamp. This is all I vocalized. In my head, of course, I thought that we would hand deliver the letter and it wasn't worth wasting a stamp on it.

Well, later that day, I went out to the mailbox to put a letter in it that I wanted to posted tomorrow. In the mailbox, I found this:

Addie had taken it upon herself to put her letter to Grandmother in the mailbox. It was so sweet. It had no stamp, or name, or address on it but Addie knew that it should be in there if it was going to be 'mailed'. I rescued the card today and will hold onto the memory for a lot longer. So precious.
