I loved her very much and find it hard to fully express the woman she was to me. She made the best biscuits and chicken 'n dumplings I have ever had in my life. She made the most gorgeous quilts and lace. She could crochet anything. She truly loved me and held me up on a pedestal. She was a fantastic woman to me.
What I will miss most is when my family and I would visit, she and I would always be up first in the morning and would spend time catching up and talking before anyone else would wake up. She with her coffee and me with my freshly made, hot, buttery biscuits.
Her memoirs is what inspired my graduate entrance portfolio. She was a truly neat lady and I would have loved to have had more time with her.
It's just not fair when death sneaks up on you. Of all the things I regret this year, with all of the medical difficulties I've had, I hate that I didn't get to see her to say goodbye. It's the bitterest kind of regret, the choices I have made, that put me on the path my life is on now. I didn't get to say good bye and it is so overwhelmingly sad.
Nanny, I will miss you and can't wait to see you again someday.
