Dear Nanny,
I miss you!
I feel like cancer stole a lot from us, you and me. We had good times,
sad ones, hard times but no matter what kind of time it was, we had each
other.
I miss that.
I wish you could be here today and see me. Meet my son your great
grandbaby. My husband and the loving wonderful man he is. He takes care
of his shoes! ;-)
He also loves and respects his mother.
I wish you could see all the things you taught and showed me working in
my life. Everything from the way I get pretty before going out to the
way I keep my house. I wish I could tell you I was safe and happy. I hope you know that.
I remember so many things you told me and wish now I had paid even more attention.
I miss painting my nails with you. I miss going out to our little tea house for luncheons.
I miss watching you. I miss your smell. I miss your singing.
I miss you.
I miss curling your hair and eating big breakfast with coffee and Irish
cream. I miss having ice cream snacks on hot days with you. I miss
drinking a big ice glass of Dr Pepper with you. I miss our fancy cakes.
I miss long car rides with you to Arkansas. I miss our conversations solving the worlds problems.
I'm sorry I grew up and grew busy. I regret that now. I regret not calling you more.
I miss you. I love you.
This day two years ago I was on the phone with you, when you took your last breath.
I will cherish those last few moments we had. I will never forget telling you it was okay to go even though in my mind it wasn't.
See you on the other side someday.
