memories

you can’t bottle smells, and this one will fade. chris has brought back a mattress from little nanny’s. i am glad i had other things to do today, so wasn’t tempted into going, as i still grieve greatly for the loss of such a strong influence and source of love and advice. the mattress smells so strongly of her house – mostly mixed polishes i think! and this is my last time to savour that smell, as it soon goes. i have so many things to worry about, but little nanny, i miss you.

  2. After Nan died Grandad asked if I wanted any of her jewellery and I said no as I didn’t want her jewellery, I wanted her. Since then I’ve thought perhaps it would be nice to have something but think by now it will all have been cleared out. When we are next down I think I will try and find the courage to ask him. Feel guilty about the lack of contact with him really. :-(

    Lots of hugs for smells and memories.

  3. hugs to you michelle. i thought that with the division of stuff, i just wanted nanny, but the girls chose lots of things, and i couldn’t bear to see some of the things carted away, so…
    obviously i am feeling tearful at the moment!
