So today I fed the birds again and Sugar and I watched as a bunch of birds came and ate. Sugar ended up getting jealous, begged to go outside, and sat in their food. It was hysterical! It was very crispy outside but I enjoy the change of the leaves. I can't wait to see Dotti and Misha, I know mom will take great care of them. Misha sat on my lap in the day time when I visited you last. I'm uploading older pictures of us because I know you would have great memories, like this one I found. (since you had so many recent pictures of me up all around the house, I feel like I should remind you of the old days!) I always knew I was your favorite grandkid lol! I always felt your love. I always knew how much you loved me. I still know. It makes me smile when I think about how you would go on and on about how amazing I am. Even as a 25 year old woman, my mom didn't have to ask me "Hey, want to call Nana?" I just did Because I loved you. I wrote to you as often as I could because I loved you. You didn't babysit me but I would say you had a huge hand in raising me and I am so thankful for that. When I see pictures of you I see Mom, Biggie Z, and Uncle Ernie..sometimes I even see my brother. You left a piece of you in all of us. I miss your laugh, it was so contagious. You had a way of always knowing how to make someone smile. You taught every single one of us not to hate or be spiteful. I was very angry that a coworker of mine wouldn't switch days off with me so I can visit your house with mom, but mom assured me that we can not hold on to anger whether past or present. You would say the same thing, most likely even make an excuse FOR my coworker, lol. Maybe she really couldn't, maybe she has plans with her family. I try to see the best in everyone because that is what you taught me. I was reading one of your letters, it said "be optimistic, believe in yourself, and look forward to new challenges." I hope to spread your wisdom on to everyone. The Gospel according to Nana lol. I will continue to write to you here as often as I can. I know you can feel the love I have for you, that everyone has for you. Maybe God needed you to help spread love all over the world. Sprinkle it in certain areas....wink. Oh, and work on sending me a nice looking guy...I'm going to do what you said and hang out at a golf course, since Angelo works at one I'm sure he can give me VIP access. I'm so thankful for the 25 years I had with you. It's a true honor to know you and to be apart of your life and your legacy. It will be carried on through your 3 loving kids and 3 grandkids. (Including Vito--like you said he has a perfect shaped head--you helped create that head! lol) Love you to the universe and back. --LZ
