What a great RSD friend you have, Ali! Very nice letter, too.

I hope your grandparents will wake up and realize what they are missing by not being close to their cute granddaughter, Ali.

You are such a sweetheart. It is beyond me to know how they can continue to resist you.

You are right, though: The ball is in their court. I hope they have enough sense and decency to at least try to make amends.

I'm old enough to be your grandma should you decide you need a substitute!
