Well Nanny..
It’s 2023 now. I just turned 23 in November. Honestly the past few year, things have just been weird without you here and honestly the Family relationship just hasn’t been the same since you’ve been gone.. I really wish I could see that sweet smile you always gave every time I saw you just once more or to have just one more of your ever so gentle hugs and to just be able to hear you’re voice or watch as you would smile and roll your eyes while we would poke little fun at your height and sometimes at your hearing.. You were always my favourite person to see when I was little and especially going through my teen years. I always used to look forward to the family events because I knew I’d get to see everyone but I knew I’d get to see you especially.. It’s been so long since you’ve been gone.. but it still feels like it just happened.. I wish I could tell you about everything going on in my life right now and all the big things that have happened in the recently passed years.. I really wish you could meet my stepson too, you would have adored him and spoiled him so much.. I wish you would be able to be there for when I do get Married one day.. though, I know you’re still here in spirit, it’s just not the same.. Tomorrow, January 29th 2023, will mark what I believe will be my 4th to 5th year with out you now. Although you aren’t here, you’re still looking over us all up in that beautiful fortress. I know you’re probably disappointed in some of the decisions I’ve made over the years and you’d probably tell me to try and take better care of myself and to make sure I take care of Dad and I would probably tell you that I would.. but mine and Dad’s relationship hasn’t been the greatest for quite a long time now.. a lot happened I’m sure you saw from up there but I’m trying to fix some of the problems that caused it.. Of course, I know not everything can be fixed but I can still try my best to fix that of which can be..

I love you so much and I miss you with every passing day that goes by so much more than words can explain. You were always so wise and so full of goodness.. You didn’t have a bad bone in your body and you loved wholeheartedly.. That’s what I always loved about you. This year you would have been turning 86 and you know, sometimes I can’t help but think that maybe if you made it past 82 some things would still be kind of okay but at the same time I know that everything happens for a reason, no matter what it is.

Again, I love you and I miss you so much.

Rest In Sweet Paradise Nanny ❤️
