Nana.

Dear Nana,
 You are one of the strongest, and most determined people I have ever been blessed to know. You brought two amazing people into this world that I could never imagine my life without. You fought every day of your all too short life. 52 is too young. You should at least get to meet your new grandbaby on the way. But i know that you will. That you'll be with us, every day. And that you wouldn't want us to be so sad. And that you'll never be in pain again. But we'll never be able to have a get together with your designated spot at your dining room table, with a chair there, and not think that you should be there in your power chair.
but now you're with people that you've missed, people that you've wanted to meet. Say hi to William for me, would you? Granny and Papa have their baby girl back.
But Memay is the oldest sibling, and she buried you and Uncle Tony. And i just think that is so sad. I think it's awful for Mindy to have to lose you right now, a mom is your savior. That's what a mom always is. If nothing is going right and there's no one to talk to? There's always Mama. and now Mindy has to become a mother without a mother, and I think that's pitiful. I couldn't imagine losing my mom. Granted, until today, I've never really lost anyone close to me. And I know I'll get through it, I know we'll all get through it. We'll maybe even become closer because of it. That'd be what you want. You hated people fighting. Especially us. i don't know if I'll be able to go see Breaking Dawn Part 2, now. You were the one that got us all tickets every year, we ate dinner/lunch together and had a Sweeney Lane Girls Day. And they were so fun.
  I'll never forget sleeping at your house all the time from 4th grade up until Mindy got married. I practically lived there. You always made the best bacon and biscuits. Actually, I never ate anything that you made and didn't like. Football games, will never be the same without you. You would always be like the only person in the stands cheering along with the cheerleaders. You are the most dedicated Rocket fan there ever was.
I can't believe you won't be there on my birthday. I don't want to lay you to rest on my birthday, I just don't. But there's really no other way to do it. You gave the best hugs.
I know you're in a better place now, but no one will ever replace your kindness in this world.
I love you, Nana.
