To My Dearest Grandaughter Shawna-Leigh..

As you leave home and explore the world on your own I want you to remember where you came from and how you were raised. Always keep your manners and always respect yourself and be proud of who you are.. When your feeling lonely or lost just take out this letter and and hold it close to your heart and close your eyes, since we know by now you should know the words by heart, repeat the words and picture your home with your family and friends and know how much your loved and missed.. And I know I've always drilled you but it was for your own good Shawna-Leigh, it was to make you the strong independent young lady you have become today.. I am very proud of you and I hope you find what your looking for and always know that you have a place here and if you get into trouble that you find you cannot get out of then you know what to do and I will be there.. Just remember when you use the amulet to summon me it lessens my life span so use it only in extreme situations my dear..




I've traveled paths you've yet to walk,
learned lessons old and new and now this
wisdom of my life, I'm blessed to share with you..

Let kindness spread like sunshine and embrace those who are sad. Respect their decisions, give then joy and leave them feeling glad...

Forgive those who might hurt you, and though you have your pride, Listen closely to their point and try and see the other side..

Walk softly when your angry,try not to take offense.. Invoke your sense of humor knowing laughters' power is immense..

Express what you are feeling, your beliefs you should uphold.. Dont shy away from what is right, be courageous and be bold...

Keep hope right in your pocket, it will guide you day by day.. Take it out when it is needed for when it''s near you'll find your way...

Remember friends and family of which you are a part, Love deeply and Love truelly and always give freely from your heart...

The world is far from perfect, there is conflict and there's strife... But you still can make a difference, by the way you live your life.....

Love Always: Grandpa Hazen Garmenth



 To My Loving Sister Shawna

I'll make this short and sweet since we all know I hate good-byes and I cry way to much being the baby of the family.. I will miss you deeply while your gone Sis, please be safe and no making babies.. Yes i am laughing as you most likely are too. Just picture Grandpa yelling it everytime we walk out the door... Anyway, come home soon and if you don't I may just have to sneak off and come find you.. Just kidding , dont tell Grandpa he will send me to those dam Dwarf Mines again.. And you know I hate those drunken smelly midgets..  Yes laughing again.. I love you Shawna-Leigh..


I'm blessed to call you sister but I also call you friend, you love me unconditionally and stand by me through thick and thin..

We've shared out joys and sorrows. our laughter and our tears.. And you've always been my inspiration as we grew up throughout the years..

When we were little children, we laughed and played together, and growing up you always calmed me down through all that stormy weather..

There is a bond between sisters that only they can share.. Noone can come between them, and I pity those who would dare..



I love you my crazy adventerous sister and I so wish Grandpa has let me come with you. Do come back soon and stay safe..

Love your little sister Brynn...



These two letters are Shawna-Leighs' prized possessions and she always has them on her somewhere. From time to time you may see her take them out and lean against a wall with her eyes closed as she holds them to her chest.. And if you were to watch her you'd notice that she takes great care of them to keep them in tact which may lead some to think that they were something of great importance and not just a cherished letter from a family member..






More to come soon....
