To Remember


Today marks the day, two years ago, my nanny died. I miss her so much. I think of her everyday and wish she were with me. She was my source for a quick recipe, words of wisdom, to share some news, and to laugh and smile. I am forever changed since that day. My eyes have not seen the same happiness.


Things I remember the most:


Her smell

Her laugh (or giggle)

Green beans with bacon

Popcorn balls

Angelfood Cake on my birthday

Kings in the corner

Playing games

Days spent with her

Selflessness

Kindness

Love of family and tradition

Devotion to God


Her words of impact:

"Nothing ends good or they wouldn't end."

"Mourn a birth and rejoice a death."


So today as hard as it is, I rejoice in your memory, honor and spirit. I love you, Nanny!
