This afternoon my nanna passed away after suffering a massive stroke earlier in the week. She was 94. My mum and dad left early Wednesday morning to drive over to Perth but unfortunately were about 1 hour too late to say goodbye before she passed. Mum was able to go to the hospital though and have a chance to say her goodbye before they moved her.
My nanna was a very special lady....she wasn't directly related to me but was a lady who opened her home and family to my mum when my mum was young and had no where to live. She treated my mother like one of her own and when my mum got married and had children she became my nanna. I have many wonderful memories of holidays at her house and special times we shared together. Even though my brother and I were not really her grandchildren she sent us birthday and christmas presents every year right into our 30's.
My nanna is now at peace and no longer suferring but she will always be sadly missed.
Peta, I am so sorry. Loosing a loved one is so hard. What lovely memories you have. xxx
ReplyDeleteHi honey, How lucky you are to have known her. She did have a good innings and now she can keep an eye on you all as well.
