Thank you all for your prayers, calls, texts, cards and love. Last Sunday is when we got the call that Nanny had the massive stroke in her brain, and then they moved her to Hospice Monday night. Last week, no one slept, we all sat by her side, reminiscing, laughing at times of all the funny, sassy things she would do and say, crying over the thought of her not being here, and admiring my Grandad's devotion to her. I love to hear the stories of their young love, simply beautiful. She was not just my grandmother, but one of my very best friends! She was there for everything in my life, and my girl's lives. So many people don't have their grandparents, and even fewer have their great grandparents........our hearts are full with the precious years we had her.
I am so much like my Nanny!
I was her "doll-baby". She always wanted a girl, but she told me she had to wait to get me. She had three sons, and then the first grand child was my brother. I came along and I really thought I was a real "princess"! Someone asked me the other day what my favorite memory of my childhood was.........I thought about all the great places I got to go, lots of fun times and special things, but it was the simple thing of having family dinner at my Nanny's house, playing with my baby cousins and eating Nanny's awesome cooking that stuck out to me. I love her and I will miss her so much. I'm so glad I know for sure I'll see her again!
