Hey nanny, I’m sorry it’s been so long since I wrote you.
Life has been, I don’t even know where to start, but not the most awesome the last 3-4 years.
My dad passed...on your birthday, in 2018 which I’m sure you know. It was hard, really hard, I know he wasn’t the best parent growing up but he was an amazing grandpa and loved my girls so much. Chad was officially diagnosed with brain cancer on April 1st last year ( of all days, right?) he had surgery mid march to remove the tumor which was the size of a large lemon (7cm by 6 cm) they told us at that appt that this disease would eventually take his life and they expect that to happen within 2-4 years... 2-4 years.That means my kids will lose their dad at the ages of 6-8, 10-12 & 12-14, It’s not okay. It’s so hard some days. I just think, why us?! My babies need their daddy. He was doing relatively well until he had a seizure October 27th. He is now on seizure Medicine as well as his monthly chemo. He’s still doing pretty good, just not 100% him, if you can understand that.
My youngest, kaylee ( we call her Keebs) she reminds me so much of you nanny! She has this classic beauty about her with her dark hair and gorgeous green eyes. She may look like chads mini but she’s all you to me. Then Lilly bean, she loves all things that has to do with her hair and makeup.. always wanting to get into my makeup. She’s so beautiful and smart, just like you were and doesn’t even know it.
Izzy... her due date was just days before your birthday and I wanted so bad for her to wait to come. But she came two weeks early on may 25th, she is absolutely obsessed with wolves and collects everything just like you did. I love this about her so much because it reminds me of you every day.
We drove past your resting place a week ago and I’ve wanted to stop and bring Keebs to meet you, but I’ts been so hard with everything going on to stay strong and I didn’t want to break down in front of all of them.
We’re going to come see you this Sunday nanny. I love you and miss you so much! I hope you know how much, please watch over my family, till we meet again Nanny noo noo.
Love nick nack
