My darling nanny My darling nanny, My forever love, I could spend my time saying all the things on my heart like ‘we weren’t ready’ ‘we just wanted to be able to come home to you’ but I hear you. You’re saying it was your time. And so, instead, I’ll say thank you. Thank you for loving us. Thank you for treating us grandchildren equally. Thank you for allowing us so much of your time. Thank you for being the foundation and pillar of our family. Thank you for being there for us and our family as they worked through their lowest, lows. You saw it all, and you supported us all. I always admired your grace and strength. Please lend me some of that, you know I’m the crybaby of the family. Thank you for letting us all stay up late and watch movies on tv well past our bedtime by ignoring the fact that we were all pretending to be asleep and definitely watching Austin powers. You guys were the best! Thank you for fixing things I thought were broken, everything you did was magic. Thank you for finishing things I couldn’t understand or lost the patience to go through with. Let’s face it, you knew, that i knew, everything you did turned out better! Thank you for picking me up and driving me around and then briefly returning the favour by calling me to come and get you from the rsa or wherever your little adventure would have taken you. You made me feel so important and like a superstar when I’d walk in and you’d shout “ahhhhh it’s my darling grand daughter, hello my baby!” So excited, when we both knew and all you wanted was a ride to kfc and then to be taken home and i was about to take you there. I swear to god nanny, no couch or chair will ever be as comfortable as one you’ve slept or sat on. You have always had a special talent for that. It’s an honour to have known you, to have loved you, and to have been loved by you. Your healing hands and hugs. I hope I remember them forever. Your beautiful voice. My heart will hold the sound of your voice and the warm loving energy you projected on to us all for all of time. Thank you for loving my husband the way you did. He loves you endlessly too, and we are both so grateful for the time we got to spend with you! You watched our love blossom and guided me so many times. I’m so grateful to you for everything. Thank you for all the quirks you shared and passed on to everyone. Especially my mum, Aunty, uncles, my sister, my cousins and to me. Because of you, we will see you in each other. Talking to ourselves, washing masters (when we eventually get to it) getting lost in the music momentarily, funny facials, the list is endless. I hear your ‘oh, you lot, cut it out’ and your ‘oh poooh 🤢’ in my own voice all the time. Thank you. They are some of my most memorable traits to date 😂 you always called me a bit of a square and I was cool with that, cause I knew at times, I was a lot like you 🤣🤣 Jokes aside, I won’t lie, I’m worried. I’m worried for everyone but i know you aren’t worried. You’ve done your part now my darling nanny and it’s time for you to be free. God you’ve always been such a free spirit. How I will miss you! I feel like I’ve been missing you for 10 million hours already... I love you my nanny. You can stop in for chats and catch ups in my dreams anytime. Bring everyone (good vibes only tho nanny, I’m trusting you my boss lady. Now the queens arrived, you whipem all in to shape or … if it’s my ass that needs a whoopin, you hit me up 🥴) Thank you for everything, you have and always been and will always be my favourite person. I love you, and I miss you so much. See you when I see you my love.
