However this should not be one of the parents, since they should be a little more - shall we say, realistic. I think having had someone like that arms one with the confidence not only to survive but to (mostly) enjoy doing so. I had an aunt (born in the 1800&#39;s) who treated me as your Nana treated you, and though she has been gone many years, I still feel the assurance that I am at least a little lovable even at the worst of times (even if this is a delusion, I&#39;ll take it). I am so sorry for your loss - truly - but I also know that what she inspired in you will last your lifetime.DavidShaghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02378015294494222646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11314587.post-56765558067823178562009-09-10T15:27:44.092-05:002009-09-10T15:27:44.092-05:00I&#39;m so sorry to hear about Nana, but am so glad to have read about her.

Made me cry. My grandma is on the cusp of dying. She turns 90 today, actually. We had a birthday party for her Saturday and she told everybody she was turning 33. I took a picture of her and when I showed her she honestly didn&#39;t believe it was her. She told me something was wrong with my camera. But she knew me, which was a good thing. She doesn&#39;t always. Be thankful you had that. I never had any kind of a relationship with my grandma. When she does go, I doubt I will be waxing sentimentals on my blog. I literally won&#39;t have anything to say. A few funny stories that involve other people. The ironic thing, I&#39;m the one who looks most like her.Staciehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14433280494103750395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11314587.post-10326471731753853992009-09-08T09:11:02.218-05:002009-09-08T09:11:02.218-05:00I am in TEARS! what a beautiful,loving tribute to your Nana...<br />I am so sorry for your Loss<br />(((HUGS RD)))♥georgie♥http://www.blogger.com/profile/13755834803574964576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11314587.post-5767441543306048642009-09-08T08:42:09.492-05:002009-09-08T08:42:09.492-05:00I am sure not only did Poppy great her but a crazy little old lady in gold lamme&#39; shoes was there too.

They must&#39;ve both gotten the same instruction manual issued to them when our generation was born.<br />The only time I ever watched Carson - and the only time I ever cared to do so - was sitting in the TV room with my Me-Maw. She&#39;d always have bottles of Coke (Bottles! How cool is THAT?) and Archway cookies, and there&#39;s not a government accountant around that can keep up with how many of each that we went through.<br /><br />I also was introduced to homemade pecan pie, and Doctor Who in that TV room. Why on earth would I ever want to leave?<br /><br />Unfortunately, I was out of state at a training certification for work when my Me-Maw passed away. I also wasn&#39;t able to return for the service. Be thankful you had the opportunity that you did to say goodbye.Stewed Hammhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02289256821313634861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11314587.post-49741656012500765072009-09-07T23:19:24.547-05:002009-09-07T23:19:24.547-05:00What a wonderful tribute to your Nana, Kristin!
