I can still see you, standing there in that wornout apron cooking away... You wore that sameee apron every single day it seemed. Ha And make no mistake, it definetly had seen its share of better days. And that kitchen... oh how i remember that kitchen, so many fond memories, were made there. I can still see you standing over a stove for hours preparing a made from scratch meal for us. I guess growing up on a farm in Nova Scotia, Canada prepared you for anything nana. Oh! And to keep me so patient, you'd bring out that huge coffee can of mismatched buttons that never found a home.. ha Anything to keep me occupied while waiting for nanas special meal for me. Oh, and there were hundreds of buttons, all sizes, shapes and colors. But my favorites were (at least i thought they were) those diamond ones!! Oh i thought i had the richest grandma in the world. I would pick them up and place them on my ear, and pretend I was a glamourous movie star! God, how i miss those times... But mostly you sweet nana. I think of you everyday you know. I even tried to duplicate some of your recipes but failed miserably! Shhhh, thats our secret nana. ha But heck, thats not as important as remembering you, and all the memories we shared. And how that little girl had the privilage to have those cozy grandmas we all wish for. Thats something that no one can ever take away. I want to thank you my dear sweet nana, for all your love, your time, but mostly for being you... "My Dear Sweet Nana" Always... |

I fully agree with Lori...my wife is called Nana and it's not hard to see the love especially the kids have for her. My own grandmother (grannymaw), long since gone fit this wonderful mold you formed, very well. Cool write, my friend. j. |
