Can’t Live Without
After I filmed this, I realized I CLEARLY left off a few very important items that I can’t live without: (in no particular order) caffeine, chap stick and exercise, but I enjoyed my guest star so much, I stayed with this version. Can you blame me?

Dancing In My Heart
I am delighted to have Kim of Mama’s Monologues as my guest for Letters For You today.
Kim has three boys, a baby on the way and yet still finds time to write from the heart and occasionally enlist her husband in some of the most hilarious vlogs for VlogTalk!
Kim is here today with an endearing letter to her grandfather, a man she clearly admires and misses every single day.
It’s been over 6 years since we’ve said our goodbyes. Some days it feels like you were just here with me. Other days the pain is so fierce and so strong that it feels as though it’s been a lifetime since I have seen your face.
I miss your smile and your deep hearty laugh. I miss your confidence and your sureness.
I miss our talks and your advice. I miss your eagerness to hear the next tale from my heart.
I miss our rides on the Ferris wheel, being stuck at the top, overlooking the ocean. I miss feeding peanuts to the seagulls on the boardwalk. I miss being taught how to play Frogger on the Atari in your rec room.
I miss hearing about our family history, your war stories, and how you fell in love with Mom-Mom. I miss watching you do the Mummer’s strut.
I miss hearing you rant about the Phillies losing to the Mets, calling them bums, declaring you’ve given up on them, yet tuning in to the very next game routing them on.
I miss watching your eyes sparkle as you watched my first born play. I miss watching the love radiate from you in complete awe of him.
There are so many things that I miss about you, Pop-Pop.
But most of all, I miss that you are not here.
I wish you could have been there to see me walk down the aisle on my wedding day. I wish I could have danced with you that evening.
I wish you could be here to meet my youngest boys, and in a few months, hold the newest addition to our family.
I wish you could be here. To hold, to hug, to talk to, to share with, and to love.
But I know that in a special way, you are. You’re here watching us, guiding us, and smiling down on us.
So for now, I will celebrate. Celebrate the life you led, the love you gave, the joy you brought, and the legacy that will live on.
Pop-Pop, I love you, with all of my heart and soul. Thank you for being who you are and loving me for who I am.
I hope you are dancing with Mom-Mom up there. You will dance in my heart, forever.
Love always,
Your granddaughter

To My Sister
If you don’t know who Jessica of My Time As Mom is, you must be living under a rock.
It truly is as simple as that.
First of all, she has a wonderful blog, is ALWAYS! on Twitter, is a Social Media Specialist for Eli Rose and co-founder of Vlog Talk, a weekly vlog meme. On top of all that, she is a killer Scrabble player ( speaking as the opponent who ass she kicks all the time) and is the kindest and most helpful person I probably have ever encountered.
I am so happy to have Jessica here today sharing a letter to her sister, Victoria.
To My Sister,
We have always been opposites.
From our hair to our shoes to our personalities.
The expressions salt and pepper and night and day have been used to describe us many times.
We have had our ups and downs in life.
We have laughed over stupid jokes and mom’s hair.
We have cried over the loss of family members and other things that I can’t remember.
We went many months without speaking to each other.
But we have always been sisters.
And we will always be sisters.
I know we don’t talk as often as we should and I don’t tell you I love enough.
But I do and my life wouldn’t be the same without you.
Although if I was you, I would recommend that you not listen to me the next time I tell you to shove a sock in your mouth.
