We are back

I woke up yesterday morning after a very restless sleep. I don't know I just worried all night long. As soon as I got up I called Craig's mom to see how Nanny was, she was taking care of her yesterday morning. She said she is still asleep quit worrying, enjoy your vacation. I said please just call me when she gets up. Within, 30 minutes she had called me back wanting to know what to do, and I knew she was gone. Just the night before, I had called my Aunt Joyce to see how she did for supper and she had said she didn't eat, she just wanted to go to bed at 6:00. She was very happy though. She just walked down the hall praying, she said I'm not sure what she was praying but I could tell she was praying. She tucked her into bed, and Nanny said Thank you so much. That was Nanny, always so thankful. Always, glad to see you no matter who you were or even if she knew you. We would walk in and she would always "oh there are my babies". "Aren't they beautiful"? "Are they always this good"? and "don't go, just stay". Oh how I wish I could hear any of those words today.
As I thumbed through her bible yesterday, she had written on almost every page, many times, many different times. Her bible is full of wisdom and love and she had even wrote a little about Elvis in it. My Nanny was a good lady, we shared many good times over homeade biscuits, trips, babies, sad times, she has just always been here, full of wisdom and unconditional love. I am going to miss her so much. She lived a good, holy life at 90 years old she really was a pillar of strength and wisdom. She always said, I want to stay in my own house and she did, and for that I am thankful.
I will leave you with this sweet picture taken last week, Tessa and I walked in, Tessa was asleep and Nanny held her hands out saying "Oooh give me my baby" and that's how they sat for more than an hour...
