A lifelong friend of mine is the grandfather of 5 teenage grandkids. They are spread out over 3 states.Each morning, my friend sends a family email to his grandkids, kids, and other family members. His emails might simply tell what he and Nana did yesterday or what they are planning to do today. Other days, he might share an award one of the grandkids has received OR he might wish family members happy birthday or anniversary. He uses these daily emails to be a "cheerleader" for his family as he is always encouraging and uplifting. Oftentimes his kids or grandkids will "reply to all" with comments about his email and updates on their lives. Then an electronic dialogue will take place throughout the day between family members. He completes his email with a thought for the day which is a quote or an encouraging word. I think this is so cool that a couple of months ago I asked to be a part of his family emails.What a difference this grandfather is making in the lives of others through the use of modern technology.This is a great way to keep everyone connected and close.

Tell Mr. W to add me to his mailing list too...
What a great idea connecting with the family. I like your blog RPH. It could be habit forming. Do you have any advice for a teenager with her first checking account. Writing checks for 73 cents?
what a wonderful Grandpa, investing time in his family! Thanks for your book Robin. It has lifted me up on more than one occasion.......Mom of three teenagers
