...I have tears running down my face. Tears of joy.<br /><br />Thank you so much for your loving words about my Nana, Sonya. I completely agree with you . . . your Oma and my Nana would have been great friends and would probably share a good laugh about their love of lipstick!<br /><br />Grandparents are so important and I wish I'd really understood this when I was younger. I grew up in Chicago and all of my grandparents were in Florida. We saw Nana a couple of times a year and tried to see my Gardner grandparents annually, but it was tough because they had to stop traveling by 1985. Nana was able to keep traveling until probably 2003 or 2004.<br /><br />I wish I'd grown up closer to her and envy friends who now have their parents close by and are able to let their children grow up with cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents all around them.<br /><br />I'm so happy you can still see Oma regularly. Not only is it great for you, but it's wonderful for Livie and for Oma. Enjoy every second.<br /><br />Great post!Little Merry Sunshinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01260823112620938983noreply@blogger.com
