We are all struggling at the moment with our sense of loss and our grief, so I thought I would send you some heart warming news. Today it is my Nana’s 99th birthday. She lost her husband 16 years ago and did not feel that she wanted to live another day, in fact she didn’t want to live another day without him. She is a wonderful example of how widows and widowers can find a new life, no matter how old they are…..
Today she is definitately frail but she still enjoys being around us all and brings a lot of love to our world. I would love it if she lives past 100…we always talked about getting that telegram from the Queen and I would love to share that moment with her. She is so precious to me and her words of wisdom have provided so much comfort to me over the years. Here is a piece of advice she gave me a few years ago
“Don’t live in the past, the past has gone. Don’t live in the future as the future is not here. Live in the moment and make each moment special by making someone smile….”
So glad you enjoyed this day, Nana! I wish you many more happy ones ahead. It is good to have loving family to help us celebrate.
I so love my Nana, she gives me hope each time that I see her….I just hope that she reaches that 100 milestone….thanks Laura
