My favorite memory of Nana can’t be reduced to one inci- dent since most of my favorite and most influential memo- ries of childhood are with Nana or have to do with Nana. But here are a few things I’ve learned: I learned how to ride a bike outside her white house And how to swim in her giant pool I learned how to share a cruise room And how to pick up my clean and dirty clothes I learned how to make fluffy white blueberry pancakes And feed a family of 25 in a matter of 10 minutes I learned that family is my number one priority And why it’s my priority I learned to accept all no matter what gender, race or ethnicity And care for all I learned to appreciate nature especially the birds outside her window And leave time to smell the roses I learned that nana loves me most…. And that she loves all her grandchildren equally I learned how to drive Nana’s Black Lexus convertible And how to respect others I learned how to properly dress And buy classy clothes But really the greatest thing Nana could have ever taught me was how to love and be loved. And that you can never have enough love for the people in your life. Jessica
