My Nanny taught me to strive to do good and to walk with Christ; I love her so much and am so grateful to have spent so many days and nights with her. I have precious memories, I used to brush her hair, sometimes even cut it (!?!?) and I would do her make up just for fun. I would sit around the kitchen table with her, my mom, aunts and cousins and listen to them talk about life. I will miss her laugh and her jokes, she was really funny. Mom and I would go visit her and spend the weekends with her and Papa from the time I was a little girl until I was grown and could go myself. I would stay the weekends with her while I was in college because she could entertain a college kid and help me not miss my mom/dad/brothers/being “home”. Being with her was being home. She gathered items for my hope chest, mostly things she found at garage sales, which she loved to go to. We loved to shop at thrift stores, She called me her baby. Jonas and Elias called her “Small Nanny”, She told me that doing good, helping people earns you stars for your crown in heaven and hers will be so very bright. I can’t wait to see her again.
