Missing Nana....

This is one of my most favorite pictures of all time.  Marlin loved his special time with Nana. While she was living with us they ate lunch together each day.  Her passing has affected him deeply.  I want to make a record of his feelings and how he talks about his Nana.

"Is Nana feeling better yet? Can she come home from Heaven?"

"I miss Nana today, but I know she is on the moon with Papa"

"We need to call the people who bought Nana's house so they know to fill up the bird feeders"

"How old do you have to be to die?"

"You can have birthdays in Heaven, you just don't get any presents"

"Heavenly Father is taking care of Nana now"

Even though it brings tears to my eyes, I love when Marlin talks about Nana.  I don't want him to ever forget her. 

Back to blogging.....

It's been awhile and I am sure no one reads this blog anymore, but that is ok.  It's time to change that.  It has been a very stressful and emotional year.  After losing my beloved Mom in June, I have been thinking that I need to document everything. Especially after going through old pictures and documents of Mom's.  I wish I could write eloquently like many bloggers out there, but I don't have that talent.  This is just a place for me to keep a record of my family so they will have in the future.   Many more pictures and post to come.
