I Miss You Nanny x

Every year my nan would go to America to visit her sister and brother-in-law. 2008 was just the same until we got the phone call to say my nan had fallen ill and they think it's cancer. Hearing those words crushed me inside. I didn’t know if my nan would pull through. I prayed she had the strength to get through it and get home so she could see her family. Maybe that would make her feel better. A few weeks later the doctors said she was strong enough to make the journey home with her son at her side. I picked her up at the airport with my Mum. When she came out she looked so ill, I just burst into tears and didn’t know what to do. I didn’t know what was going to happen over the next two days - I just prayed she’d be okay. We got Nanny home. She had no strength whatsoever, bless her little soul. We called the doctor who then called an ambulance. She was going to stay in hospital until she got better. The family stuck together that night, hoping Nanny would pull through. The next day we all went to see Nan and all I did was wish I could make her better. It happened so quick - in a matter of hours we were told our beloved nanny didn’t have long to live. The family gathered and tried to be strong. We said our goodbyes and suddenly she was gone. It broke my heart knowing my nanny would never return home and I’d never get a hug from her again. I grew up with my grandparents. I was very close to my nanny and it sounds stupid but I just always thought she’d be here forever. It’s been nearly two years now and I’m still finding hard to accept she’s gone. I miss my Nan more than ever and I’d do anything to have her back at home. I Love You, Nanny x
