Nana I miss you very much. You told me you were not afraid and you had peace. You told me with such a calm that it didn’t sound like you at all and yet my heart knew it wouldn’t be long. I selfishly wanted you here and I regret not seeing you more. Nothing could have prepared me for the void that you have left. I miss your calls and I miss you telling me about the little things that irritated you. The way your voice would change and your quick whit and sarcasm would come out so beautifully most the time people would miss it all together. I miss you telling me about a new recipe or new craft you had seen or thought I would like. Sometimes the things you came up with shocked the words right out of me. Your funny but dark humor about death. I was mortified when you asked me to take your picture with the angel wings. I love you and all that you put into our lives. I smile every time I see a piece of you in Dad or Aunt Theresa. Or really any one of us, and that’s beautiful because you’ve left a little piece of you with each of us. You are so very missed , and a lot isn’t the same without you. You taught me not to take time for granted and I have inherited the sass that can be explosive if need be especially when it comes to my family and that I treasure. One of my proudest moments is when someone says your acting like your nana. Love you forever.
