[quote=Anonymous]My good friend’s partner recently had a catastrophic stroke. This couple is like bonus grandparents to my kids. I don’t want to overwhelm my friend but at first we all wrote notes and I had the kids draw pictures that we texted for my friend to read to his partner because it wasn’t clear how much longer (if at all) she’d be able to hear / understand the notes. We then waited two weeks and mailed another card. My younger daughter wrote basically “I learned how to draw this animal and wanted to show you” and my older daughter wrote “I really enjoyed pizza today and playing soccer in the park. I wish I could have played with you.” We’re trying to stay out of the way but also show support. Not sure if we’re doing what’s best, but that’s what we can do for now. [/quote]
