Nanny.

To one of the most beautiful, intelligent, kind, and spiritual women I have ever met.

Nanny, I wanted to take the time to say thanks. Thanks for loving me every second of my life, since the day I was born. Never once have you NOT been there when I have needed you. Thanks for teaching me to be strong when times are tough. Thanks for showing me that gratitude is one of the most powerful gifts we have. I now know that life is short, and it is important to live as much as you can, take in every single moment, while you are still here.

I always loved the way you would take a deep breath when you'd go outside and feel the cool fresh air for the first time in a day. Like you were taking it all in. I know that you have always admired the true beauty of the world, you've always known that god is good and mysterious in his own way, and things always happen for a reason. That's how I know that even though we may not be related through blood, you are my family through and through. 100%. I love you.
You have taught me so many lessons. You explained to me at a young age how very important it is to be faithful and spiritual. These lessons I will keep with me forever, and I will carry on to my own children some day.

You may be leaving this world, but I know you are here with me. You are all around me, you're such an angel and I love you so, so much.

Michelle.
