Informal letter writing to your ancestors
Answers
Answer:
To my great- grandparents…. John (1887–1974) and Benedetta Castaldi (1886–1960). I was fifteen when poppy died and only 18 mos old when nanny died. Long after their deaths, their shadows loomed large over the family and the fortune my great grandfather built sustained me in the darkest hours of my life.
dearest nanny and poppy! I am so glad to update you on all that’s happening. Your great great grandchildren have turned out wonderfully- and no ones been to jail or rehab! (That’s a joke.) but seriously they ALL graduated from college, they All are gainfully employed, ALL are married to wonderful people, and even Little Libby - the baby - is about to buy her first house. But the best part is that you Have THREE - yes 3 - amazing great great great grandchildren and Jake the oldest is the very image of you poppy - olive skin brown hair that pronounced Castaldi jaw- it’s all there on a nearly six foot frame! And he’s only 12! (They grow them big in Farmington.) And Nanny - he has your beautiful brown eyes with my daddy’s long dark lashes.
As for me, I expect to see you all sooner rather later - I can’t wait to reunite with you and all the aunts and uncles and of course dear mommy and daddy. Give my love to all and consider yourselves well and truly hugged….. all my love forever, little nanny.
