My heart is probably more broken today than it's ever been! They say it gets easier, I'm here to say, it doesn't. My days are getting closer to when I can see you again. You sent me a message this morning that was clear as day, I will find you nearest to me when I'm feeding many. This was your love language, not just for your family but ever person that walked through your doors. I've heard so many amazing stories about you both over the last 12 months that absolutely blow my mind about your generosity, love and kindness from absolute strangers that knew you! I know where my heart and generosity comes from and it's the both of you. Your Faith was never broken, nothing could turn you away from prayer and church. I'm learning, every day, it isn't easy but I can feel your prayers from Heaven guiding me. It's hard to talk about it but one quote you said before you died, Nanny! I can't tell you how true it is. You really knew exactly what was happening and about to come. And now, it's happened. I hold steadfast in my Faith in God the Father, Jesus the Son, The Holy Spirit, Mother Mary and all the saints and angels. They will get me through as they have done my whole life. Having you on my life was the most biggest blessing and I'm so grateful for you and your lessons in life. I know you are resting in the arms of the Lord and he will celebrate you.
Happy Birthday My Nanny ###
Poppy the day you died 33 years ago today, I lost my Father. There will never be another man like you.
I can't wait to sit with you both again.
Left leg Nanny's and right leg Poppy's.
Always yours now and forever
Your Granddaughter
