There are so many nevers in death. Never again will I eat Nana's food. Never again will we go out for coffee with Nana and Ill just order iced tea because Im the weirdo in the family. Never will I have the chance to travel to Boston with her to see the changing of the leaves. Never again will I see her house decorated for Christmas. But there are so many haves I had when she was still with us. I have every wooden boat festival, boo in the park, swimming at fountainbleu, Orpheus parade. I have all the wonderful birthday cakes she baked me and Sean throughout the years, especially the castle cake. I have one of the only times I remember her yelling at me, when I was 8. I couldnt keep still and I broke her fluorescent light. She yelled at me for like 10 minutes after that one. I have me and her being the only ones eating crawfish on Good Friday. All these haves I have and the many more I have are enough to last a lifetime. I was lucky to have a grandmother as wonderful as her and to spend as much time with her as I did. My friends would make fun of me for wanting to hang out with my grandma, especially during high school. But then they would meet her and completely understand. Nana was an amazing woman and I can only hope to be half the woman she was.
