My grandma wasnt a typical grandma, she was more of a hilarious older friend..
She was always available to talk, anytime I called her, I loved sleeping over there,because we stayed up late--watching the news.
I'll never forget the night I told her I was pregnant with Eve..
It was Christmas Eve, I had intended to tell my parents and the rest of the family on Christmas Day.. But, I really wanted to tell someone, and decided to tell Nanny.. Im not sure who had called who, it may have been her that called me... She have been drinking, so, I should have known it wasnt a good time to tell her..
But, I did. She was so excited, once we were off the phone she called Aunt Lisa, and told her. Aunt Lisa then called me to warn me that maybe I should tell mom and dad myself before Nanny does... I ignored the warning, which I shouldnt have done...
The next day I told my parents, they then told me that Nanny had already told them, the night before.. I guess I should have listened to Aunt Lisa.
Nanny has done alot of questionable things as a grandma, but it all just added to her being completely awesome.
She snuck us into the bar when she worked there, told us to sit quietly under there and eat our "porkies"
She also lit the BBQ and singed Ryan eyebrows off.
And told us dickie dark lived in her closet and didnt like kids being loud at night or out of bed, this was back when she lived in port maitland so I believed her, and I stayed in bed!
Nanny was sick a long time, and I am relieved to know shes no longer sore or uncomfortable..
But, it makes me sad to know my kids have never gotten to know the real her, before her stroke. They love her, but they would have loved her more had they known her before...She was always a pretty awesome person. I will miss her alot. I love you Nanny.
Easiest thing to write for me ever... but, hardest EVER thing to read.
Also, sad, but, to a lesser degree..
Molly died, she drown in my pond, under ice I am assuming..
December was a shitty month!
