If my nanny had one wish it would be standing here today being able to see everyone. She loved her family and spoke about them often. Especially the ones she didn’t get to see so often she always spoke about family and growing up. At weddings you’d always catch me hanging out with the Zanellis and bartoletties because I knew so much about them and how much uncle Vic and auntie Rosie meant to her and if she could have been there she would have wanted to do the same. Hearing how everyone was doing. Keeping close was important to her.
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change. The courage to change what I can and the wisdom to know the difference.
Living life the way my nanny would want me to. Caring for the people around me. Making people laugh and smile and doing what I can to make their day better. Living one day at a time enjoying one moment at a time. Taking the world as it is and not as I would have it. If you knew my nanny you would know her life wasn’t easy. She was a guardian her whole life. for her mother for her brother for her sister for her daughters and for her grand children and great grand children. She had a huge heart and a large family came from that. She cared for all of us. For me personally she was my rock she was there for my family during the darkest times and the times we needed her the most she was a selfless person. She was my hero. She was
My teacher She was my voice of reason. She was my example she was what a person should be. She was a parent to me she was a grandmother to me she was a friend. she was always more than she needed to be went above and beyond and for that she will be impossible not to miss. The world is a little less special without her there will always be a spot for her in our lives. But we can not change what is meant to be and I am grateful to have been lucky enough to have nanny in my life as long as we did. Just wish I could have her forever but I will in my heart. Although I am heart broken now I trust that god will make all things right. At a time like this I must surrender to gods will. You are in a better place where you.Are. no longer suffering. I just hope wherever you are you are with family that have been waiting patiently to meet you again. My love for you is wider than a mile. We are after the same rainbows end. Till then I’ll be waiting round the bend. Love you nanny and I will miss you for the rest of my life.
