My great grandmother, or as I called her Nana. She took care of me and my sister when we were very young, cooking cookies with us and being a beacon of love and good in our lives. I can honestly I never saw her angry or as some would say didnt have a hateful bone in her body. I had heard of a time she got mad at my grandfather Joe Waldrop but wasn’t around to witness it and im sure I would be shocked if I had. She had a love of gardening and was very good at it her yard was always full of beautiful flowers of all types. She grew up in a different time, everything was very proper and always had good manners. She showed me that side of life, the side where improper things are not spoken of and any hurt was dealth with privately. I believe I have a lot of her temperment in me, go along with things just so you wont rock the boat, which works sometimes but not always. To me I never judge, just accept people are who they are. Im not sure if she felt the same way but that is the impression that I got. Looking back I dont feel as if I was there for her as much as I should have been, being a typical teenager rebelling and brushing family aside but I must live with that . It doesn’ t weigh on me it is what it is but if I had another chance you can bet I would be around her more. After her passing I had a very vivid dream where she said she would play a game of basketball when I get to heaven, such a trippy dream thinking of my great grandmother playing basketball is something I would have never thought of but that shows the power of dreams. You got yourself a deal nana, me and you one on one once I get there in due time, Until then please watch over and help me where you can.
