Their previous step-grandma (passed away), it seems, did not want anything to do with them, thus keeping their grandfather to herself and away from them.
I do not want his grandchildren or their parents to believe that I will do the same.
Any suggestions?
They are all under the age of 16 so looking for something short and sweet.
thank you!

My two cents worth. Somethings are better not done in a letter. A visit a phone call is far better, A problem with a letter and an e-mail you can only guess how it is received.
If, something is misunderstood, perhaps even found offensive by the reader your initial contact is negative.
Conflicts there are always conflicts. My wife, first and only. We were in our early 20's when we got married. Neither had anything. My net worth was negative numbers.
I could not imagine life without my wife. It does not mean we agree on everything.
Older newly weds both have done a lot of living far more than we did.
