°(LDD) I Just Called to Say I Love You - Stevie Wonder
Dear Casey,
I was just wondering if you could play "I Just Called to Say I Love You" by Stevie Wonder? This was the song my sister and I & one cousin used to sing to my grandmother when we were little. You see, she was the one that took care of me way back then. I don't remember exactly what age I was at the time, but it was off and on. And then at age of 6 or 7, my Mom wanted me back. I was going into Grade 1 that year. I know my Gram didn't want to give me back, but she did. My older sister & I were really close to her. She was a loving, caring, brave woman, and Gram always loved to knit, bake, and clean house. Later on as the years passed, she was the one who would call my sister and me to say "I love you". Gram has been passed on for some time now, and sometimes when I'm thinking of her in the car, this song comes on & still makes me think she calling me to say "I love you". I miss her lots. Thanks.
