Dear Nanny

Dear Nanny,
The day is October 19th of the year two thousand and eleven
It has been 14 years since you were taken away
You joined PawPaw and now live in heaven
As I miss you terribly with each passing day.
Your coffee drinking partner is now a sophomore in high school and is fifteen
Your little dark haired angel is fourteen and now a freshman
Though it's been a while now, I still share your memory
not only with them but anyone I meet, the best I can.
You were a one of a kind treasure that will forever be missed.
Your gentle caring soul was a beacon of light.
You touched everyone's heart with every hug and kiss.
In many ways, I try to be like you with all of my might.
As the days and years pass by,
It's hard to realize that you are not really here.
So I know that it's OK to cry
because they are not sad but happy tears.
Though you are in heaven and we are apart
you are not really gone.
Your memory lives in our hearts
and I know I am not alone.
I feel your presence when I feel blue
and when times are tough.
There will only be one of you
You are a part of me so that's enough.
My children are growing up so very fast
that one day they will be grown and gone.
Your love for them is not in the past
because you are watching over them from your heavenly home.
I want to say Thank You Nanny
for loving me, my husband, my daughter and my son.
You will always be a part of them and me
in our heart you are still number one.
So on this 19th day of October in this year twenty eleven
I am loving and remembering you.
Even though we are on earth and you are in heaven
I know you are with us in our life in all we do.
Although I am missing you with all my heart and soul
the memories we shared can never be taken away.
YOU will forever be with me where ever I go
that is why I am writing this to you today.
