Dear Person That I Have Not Met...

In the autumn of 2008, Joan Beugen was told by her daughter that she was pregnant with who would become Joan's very first grandchild. It was to become an exciting time in her family, but Joan was worried. She was very concerned that tiny one (that was what she called him) had no way of knowing what this growing and developing stuff it was going through was all about. And she was determined to help reassure tiny one that it was all right. But growing into the world can be a scary thing, and Joan was determined to help.

So she began writing letters to this little person that she had not met to explain some of the changes that were happening to him and to give him a head start in dealing with some of the challenges of the waiting world. Her letters, filled with fun and life lessons, remind all of us of our shared humanity.
