This is goodbye, my dear little Sweeties. Gramps and I are no longer allowed to be your Grandparents. We can no longer see you, talk to you, visit with you or send you gifts. I’m not sure if you even know this has happened or what you will be told if you ask.

I only know that we love you and have loved you for one wonderful year. What a privilege that has been! I simply have to trust that this short time together will be enough. That you will know it wasn’t your fault Gramps and I were locked our of your lives. That you are worthy, valuable, lovable boys who deserved to have as many people as possible in your lives who loved you.

Your Mother is hurt and her actions were meant to hurt only us, but here we are. Your Mother is angry and her actions were meant to anger only us, but here we are. Your Mother feels attacked and her actions were meant to attack only us, but here we are. Yes, here we are at the end of a year and the end of our relationship.

Goodbye, my dear Sweeties!
