Merry Christmas 2020 and Happy New Year 2021 Krystina

1-4-2021

2021 is here.  And of course I save the Christmas letter and didn't push publish.....so you get two for one.  I got the family pics and I am just going to attach Grandpa and me on this one.  

 

                              Yep this is us..... Grandpa Lonnie and Grandma MyLinh - Dec 2020

I decided that since I had to keep my hair a certain way almost all my life I am of age now I do what I want and enjoy it..... and I have been enjoying it.  Your Great Grandma is in the hospital with COVID.  She has been in a nursing home for this past year locked down with no visitation and she ends up with COVID at the end of 2020.  So of course it had to be a worker that brought it in.  But according to the hospital its a slight fever and low oxygen that is being given to her.  

I hope all is well for 2021 and whatever your family is doing to stay safe keeps you all that way.  Sending love and hugs for the New Year.  And I LOVE YOU and send LOTS OF HUGS.

Got to have fun in life because life is just to short.

Your Grandma

Hello my dear dear Granddaughter

I am typing this at your fathers house in North Carolina.  I am spending Christmas here with the family and I am going to be taking some family pics that I will attach a pic of grandpa and myself here for you in the New Year.  

I want to wish you my dearest Granddaughter a Happy Christmas.  So I hear you are a BIG SISTER once again.  How cool is that, and congratulations on that.  I wish you and your family all the best and I know that you are growing up and I hope to god you are happy, and that all your dreams come true.  I send my love and want you to stay safe.  What a year we about to end, I have made sure I have followed all the rules and stayed safe and so far no one has been effected with this COVID as I hope no one close to you has suffered.  I also hear your Aunt Nikki is also expecting a new baby, and I am just amazed and so happy for her also.  

One day you and I will meet and there will be so much to talk about, questions to be answered and I can not wait.  

You take care and Grandpa also send loves and hugs.

Love Grandma 

Happy Happy Birthday Krystina Lucille Tessinari

Wow another year, Krystina

With the world as it is today with so much going on like this virus its a hell of a time we are living in isn't it.  I just know I wish for you and your family good health and safety.  I wanted to wish you a HAPPY BIRTHDAY.  You are the most beautiful person I know that I love very very much.  Please know that if I end tomorrow you will be in my thoughts forever and getting the blessings of my love wherever I may be. 

I want to let you know that no matter what I think of you once or more a day.  Your name comes up at least once a day as a whisper or a conversation.  You are the most to me and will always be that.  I am not lucky enough to be a hands on grandmother to you but I am lucky to know you are a part of this family. 

So smile and live your true life for yourself and honor the people that have made you be what you are.  I wish you happiness and love always.

Love
Grandpa Lonnie and Grandma MyLinh

Happy Birthday 13th Krystina Lucille Tessinari

Wow a day late for your birthday.  Grandpa Lonnie and myself were out yesterday running errands having lunch and hanging out.  I knew it was your birthday and said I had to type you a birthday wish and then the day ended and I didn't.  My fault on this and its late today at 10:17 pm and I then after work I had things to do.  But I knew tonight I had to let you know that I am thinking of you and I want you to know this.  There is so much to go on and its horrible that I wasn't on time to wish you a big HAPPY 13TH BIRTHDAY. 

Another year.  Another day.  Another hour.  Another minute.  You are beautiful Krystina and I can't wait to meet you.  Life has been interesting for me for the year.  I am getting the house ready for retirement.  We are getting things built and done and redone and so on.  I just want to have everything done that needs to be done.  Its interesting and fun to do.  I work from home now and that is fun, no more traveling to work unless of course the work computer at the house wants to go down.  I know its its almost time for swimming competitions for you and Zoe when the weather gets better.  I haven't seen snow in so long I wouldn't know how to act with the snow I see all over the country.  I went on a trip last October to Bourbon Street in Louisiana.  Then drove all over Texas god so much fun and all by myself to.  I went river rafting last year also.  Another thing off my bucket list.  It was just so much fun.  I don't know life has just been peaceful and so nice.  I know you are busy to probably growing up finding your way and just being you, as beautiful you. 

I love you my beautiful talented granddaughter and I want you to know that yes I am a day late in wishing you a HAPPY BIRTHDAY but I mean to tell you one day in person you are loved and so cherished and I don't forget you EVER.  So I LOVE YOU MY DEAR and I know Grandpa Lonnie wants me to let you know you are loved by him also.  Patrick just walked in and wants me to let you know he sends his love also.  Be good get good grades and get o 18 soon.  I end this letting you know that you are and always will be loved.

Loves and lots of kisses,
Grandma MyLinh

Merry Christmas Krystina Lucille Tessinari

Hi beautiful Krystina

You are probably the most beautiful young lady that I think about often.  Yes I know you are a swimmer I can google your name and see that.  What a accomplishment, living in South Dakota and having all those outdoor things you can do is probably so much fun.  The winters must be hard sometimes.  Living in Florida I don't get the change of seasons or anything like that.  Will love seeing that in the future with you.  I have a secret, I started at 310 pounds and my goal is to lose 100 pounds in one year.  I am down to 254 and I started in May 2018, haven't given up smoking cigs yet though and I am working on it.  Its the day after Christmas and I am late I know getting this sent out on this blog.  I slept ALOT on Christmas day.  We are having our Christmas dinner on Sunday and I am making Vietnamese food.  Lots of egg rolls, and home dishes that I know how to make. 

So what did you get for Christmas?  Are you into clothes yet and how about Zoe s she following in your footsteps and being a swimmer?  I already know that answer also I have to say.  She is on the swimmers list with you a lot of the times now.  I can imagine you are into makeup now, and yes probably into clothes and looking cool.  I hope you have lots of friends and that they are good friends.  I hope you have dreams of being someone important and love everyone surrounding you.  So Merry Christmas Krystina and I still have time to lose this weight so you don't meet a fat grandmother.  I may be old when we meet but I have a lot to share with you when we do meet.  Stay well and stay strong and I send my love to a beautiful granddaughter that I love everyday.

May 2019 bring you more then you can ever dream and stay strong and healthy and again I LOVE YOU ALWAYS.

Love hugs and lots of kisses
Your grandmother and grandfather    

Krystina Lucille Tessinari is now 12yrs old

Krystina, 

Well its your birthday tomorrow and you are now 

12 yrs old.  You are simply beautiful, so smart and I love you and adore you.  Every year that passes comes a little closer to your 18th birthday.  And I imagine and dream of that birthday.  Because that is when your grandfather, Patrick, our family can reach out.  In just a small way and hopefully get to meet.  There is so much I want to say to you so much love I want to give you, I want to hear your voice, I want to see your smile, I want to see the smart young woman you become.  That is what I wish for every year that passes and I can't wait.  March 17th 2012 Saint Patricks Day was the best day, it was the day you arrived and I LOVE YOU.  In the mean time you have the most wonderful birthday you can have and I love you beautiful girl. 

Love Grandpa Lonnie and Grandma MyLinh  

Krystina Lucille Tessinari Merry Christmas 2017

MERRY CHRISTMAS KRYSTINA

Well its almost another year that is going by.  Another Christmas that is spent without you in my life but I know that you are having a great Christmas.  I wonder what you received this year and if you got everything you wanted.  I can see you in my eyes, maybe not as grown up as you probably are but as a child with the thrill of opening presents and your sister opening hers.  You are always thought about, imagined and sending my love ALWAYS.  I have hope that you know one day we will get to meet.  I don't want you to go without at least meeting me one day.  I hate that I may never live up to your expectations because I know if you even know about me you have this dream image of me and it will disappoint.  Take your expectations down some Krystina.  I am loud and crude and just me.  I am not perfect and beautiful or anything you imagine.  I am fat and ugly with three eyeballs......ONLY KIDDING ABOUT THE THREE EYEBALLS. 

Listen a New Year is coming up and I count the years by your birthday.  I almost took a plane trip this last year to see you.  I had an overwhelming urge to just hop on a plane, knock on your door and say I love you.  But people talked me out of it, and I stayed home.  I am not going to let people talk me out of it for to much longer because I have a unnatural desire to see you before it to late.  Yet I am home in Orlando thinking of you this Christmas evening.  Made a lasagna and chicken parm this Christmas.  Its one of those treats that take a lot of time, I even made a comment that this may be my last time doing this....lol...to your grandfather horror I have to say.  As a Italian we cook to over cook and make a meal fit for 20 people when there is only 4 sitting here actually eating it....hence the fat and ugly part for me.

Anyway I hope you had a beautiful Christmas with family and you are surrounded by love.  I love you and always will Krystina. 

Love always
Grandma MyLinh    

Happy Belated Thanksgiving

Hi everyone and I do mean everyone

  Rough year lots of downs and lots of highs.  Just got off the phone with my oldest Gary and talked about the holidays what I am making for Thanksgiving.  Taking a trip to N Carolina and cooking his Vietnamese meal.  May have to teach the grand kids how to do this, not going to be around forever you know.  Talked about forgiveness and such, thought about my mother and how it is so very hard to forgive everyone, working on that.  Thought about my granddaughter Krystina and how life is for her.  I am thinking on my blessings my struggles and life in general but I noticed this isn't a year I have been on here alot.  I had a conversation with Patrick that I have so much to say and I think about how to say it and its not like me to be speechless but with what I want to say and how I want to say it is hard this year.  To much to say and just don't have the words.

But right now I have to say I send out a THANKSGIVING wish to everyone that reads this and "yes" Kayti that is for you and your family also.  LOVE TO ALL and Krystina I think about u a lot even though this is not a year that I wrote a lot to u.

Love

MyLinh
