my nana

although she's been gone for 15 years which is just so not fair as she was only 67... i've blogged about my nana and how special she was to me. i found this picture while digging through all of the various photos. i'd never seen this one and fell in love with it immediately. every night before bed, my nana would come and tuck me in, read me a bedtime story, and kiss me goodnight. i can still hear her voice in my head and i miss it so much.

although this isn't bedtime reading, it is me, my brother, my older cousin adam, and his stepbrother matt.


i just love how i appear to be the only one really paying attention to nana reading! and if you look on the coffee table amid the toys, there is a sculpture of a woman - my nana did that and now it belongs to my dad. also on the table right behind the couch you can see to more sculptures: my head and my cousin adam's head. my nana did a bust for all of her grandchildren. i have 3 heads at my parents' house. 2 in clay and 1 in bronze. good thing i was a cute 2 or 3 year old!
