Nan and Mom



Nan Mom
Three years ago today you left us. How can the time have passed? I miss you everyday and I still love you everyday. You were the best mom and I never got to say it as much as I should have. Children can be so in the moment and not about what is around them. As we grow up we see so clearly, but always to late. I hope you knew, as I know Matt loves me, I loved you. You were my best friend and still are. I talk to you, but can not hear you. I feel you near by, but can not see you. Those are the hard realities. Today I requested Flowers for you in the church. We said your name out loud hoping you heard every prayer. As I said on Nan's day, may you be with your family and may I join you someday when it is my time to laugh, love and talk again.
I miss your voice. Peace and Love always, Tracey your one and only daughter.

I miss and love you to Mom. I think about you everytime the kids do something cute. I wish you were here today to meet your grandson Jack.

Tracey that was a great bit of writing. You had me thinking of so many special times between you and mom and all of us and mom. I do miss her, I think I miss her laugh and her pure love for the grandkids the most. She was the definition of "someone who loves".
Nan of course is in my thoughts aswell. I will always remember her for her selflessness as well as being, in my mind, a true original. I know they are in a better place and probably playing bridge together! :) Tracey we are looking forward to our trip to Bishops Hill for our annual Grammy Pammy tractor ride.
