Thinking of You
My Nanny
You, my Nanny were one of the neatest people I have ever known and I am so grateful that I have had you in my life as long as I have Although I know you are now with Grandpa and Mom and are at peace there is an empty place in my heart that you use to fill.
I remember as a child visiting with you at your house on Palmetto Drive and you feeding me the best chicken patties in the world that you would get from the commissary. I remember sitting with you, in the kitchen of course, (LOL) both of us eating one as you listened to me explain all the details of what I had been up to over the past week or two. As I got older I remember the many lunches you would take me to at the Piccadilly Cafeteria, us still sitting at a table with you listening to me. I think you have been listening to me my whole life, rambling on and on without ever making me feel like I was.
Besides just eating and talking, I remember playing farm family with you and I both sitting on the floor with the Gorilla and the deer and the rest of the plastic animals you always had at the house for me and the many of hundreds of books you read to me siting on that same floor. I’m not sure which memory is most precious to me, I remember then growing up and watching you still on the floor, this time with my daughter reading the same books and putting puzzles together with her for hours. You always had time for me. It didn’t matter what time it was or what else you had to do. I loved my visits with you Nanny, we always had such a good time together.
Over the last 40 some years you have been so many things to me. You were an amazing other to my Mom, a fantastic Grandmother and an awesome fill-in Mom for me after we both lost her, a great friend and a super Great Grandmother to my precious daughter Becca.
I am glad that you are at rest and with our family in Heaven but I will miss you so greatly. Thanks for being the best Nanny anyo
