I miss my Nanny..God it hurts!!!

Written at graduation for my Nanny...

There are so many things I must tell you; so many things I feel inside. As the years have passed us by, I find I have nothing to hide.

You have been my advisor, my Nanny and my friend. All our little differences seem to always mend.

You have sacrificed so many things to try and make me smile. You’ve made my life so much more secure and you’ve gone the extra mile.

Each day I think of growing up and how you made me feel. I knew that I was special and had found a love that was real.

You and Pap took me everywhere you went. I was a pretty cute kid. Every place that we went, I’d watch everything you did.

I was your little “turd bird.” (Something that made me proud.) I was a little spoiled and did things I wasn’t always allowed.

You took such good care of me and made sure I had it all. You always stood behind me to catch me when I’d fall.

If I made a mistake of something bothered me, you’d kiss away my fears and put a band-aid on my knee.

We did some crazy things together and you’d always make me laugh. You’d always trim my bangs and make sure I had my bath.

We took trips quite often, to Sea World and “the track”. I loved to be with you and I’d cry when I went back.

You have meant much more to me than anyone could know. Someday I will tell you, but feelings are hard to show.
You have become a big part of my life; no one can take your place.
I love you as a mother. Our memories cannot be erased.

Now more than ever, I want and need you to know, I will always love you, although it may not show.

As I move on in my life and find what lies in store, I will need your kind heart and understanding more and more.

I am very confident that you will lend a hand, for I love you dearly Grandmother (Nanny), that’s what makes you so grand.
