My Nanny

I don't know why, but in the last 2 weeks, I have been thinking a lot about my Nanny.  Nanny has been in heaven for seven years now and I do miss her.  Little things have been reminding me of her.

Nanny is the one next to Bo (of course...lol)
My Mom Mom is next to me and she is amazing as well.

I found her garden gloves while cleaning out my china cabinet.  She loved to garden so much.  Her gloves still have dirt stains on them and I will never wash them.

In my dining room window, I have two angel figurines.  One was from Nanny and I found her sister at an antique store in North East.  I think they may have another sister but I am not sure.  It is something I look for every time I go into an antique store.  Nanny loved "dust catchers".  She loved pretty, dainty things.

For two weeks, almost everyday, I have been wearing a pair of star earrings that Nanny gave me.  She told me that she was wanting to give me something of hers and she found these earrings.  I love them. Wearing them just makes me feel closer to her, somehow.

My Nanny was a fireball.  She loved us very much, especially my husband.  Bo was one of her favorite people.  I loved that he would go visit her even if I was out of town.  He would take the kids over and have pinto beans and corn bread with her.

She was a beautiful woman and strong.  She raised beautiful and strong daughters...like my Mom. Sometimes, it's good just to sit and remember our loved ones who are with Jesus.
