GranNan meant the world to me. I can’t even begin to explain how much I truly cared and loved that woman. A lot of my memories when I was growing up, have her in them. From times at their house, gardening, bee keeping, cow feeding, dog feeding (they had what seemed like 1000 dogs), learning to tend to chickens. We never ever left the table without eating EVERY SINGLE last bite of food she put on our plate. Evenings at the auction. Sunday’s at church. Then I had to grow up. Visits came scarce... but I made points to visit when I could, and write letters. We wrote often. I loved getting her letters in the mail. Then what seemed like such a short time, the letters stopped coming. She moved here, to Texas.. my nanny and aunts took such good care of her. I saw her more in the last close to a year than I had in many years.
In this year, years were shed, lots of amazing memories made. We all knew time was nearing, she’d gain her wings soon. I saw her this last Friday and we talked about her birthday party, and how much she loved my babies. I heard her say she loved me for the last time, as we held hands.
I’m broken, I can’t believe she is gone. But I am rejoicing at the thought of her being with her momma and daddy and her husbands again. I know she missed them.
I’ll forever carry your memory! I will never let you down. I love you GranNan. To the moon and back!
