One of Nanay's "trademark" clothes - from Oly's collection

Remembering Nanay


I've come across this site again quite by accident tonight and saw my brother's last post- a beautiful song which MUST have been composed with Nanay in mind...


Olive at 90 - it's probably time to rename this blog to Olive Forever, corny but definitely more fitting.  






She's in our hearts and minds all the time --

...a beautiful rose 

...a funny anecdote 

...her favorite seat at church 

...her gardens (any of the 4 she loved to tend) 

...freshly made brownies or kutsinta

...a long/short drive on places familiar or new

any of these and more is enough to trigger laughter or tears, memories of our Nanay.












Just the other day, Ryan asked again if Nanay would like to come down to Heaven to visit us.  I love that he knows his Nanay is in a better place, but like Ryan, I also wish that I come hug and kiss Nanay just one more time.


I love you and miss you so much, Nanay.
