Happy Birthday, Nanny

Today she would have been 73. Exactly one week a part, I can remember celebrating our February birthdays together. We're not celebrating today; we're simply missing her. She, however, is having the best birthday ever. Dancing around heaven as choirs of angels herald her special day. I am sure there is a crown involved. Every birthday princess needs a crown.

We miss you , Nanny. That won't change. With each passing day, we grow more and more aware of your absence. Not that I yet believe that "time heals all wounds" because the more time that passes, the further away you seem. Maybe that's just the opposite, though. Maybe it's really the more time that passes, the closer I am to seeing you again. What a glorious heavenly reunion we'll have.

Congratulations to you and Daniel, you wil have ups and some downs, but believe me the ups will far outweight the downs.
I am sure Talor will like not being the baby in the family anymore (I think). I'm sure she can't wait to hold the baby. Always cherish these moments, they were and still are the very best of mine and Linda's life.
Love you,
Jerry
