My beloved nan died 2 years ago today, suddenly after more than 60 happy years with my grandad (which I guess makes her one of the lucky ones). Not I nor anyone else got the chance to say goodbye and tell her how much we loved her, I hope she knew then and knows now. Honestly, she was amazing, so beautiful and kind and the real central figure around which the rest of the family orbited - I miss her so much! In the past 2 years she has had another 4 grandchildren which she would have adored, and I myself lost 2 pregnancies in that time which I sometimes want to discuss with her so much it is a physical pain. I can imagine the comforting feeling of her stroking my face and my hands...and then she would have noticed I had been biting my nails again and told me off!! I hope she is looking after my babies and getting ready to send me another one soon....Love you Nan, miss you so much xxx

Your Nan sound like she was the true matriarch in your family. No wonder you miss her so much. I'm sure she will be taking good care of your babies and watching over you. I think she knew you loved her, otherwise she would not have been the centre of your world. I do hope she sends you another baby soon.
