My Grandma Nancy passed away this week and it has been rough. My face is so puffy from the random outbreaks of tears, but here are some of my favorite memories of her that are way more important than her death: 1.) She had a ton of friends. Like so many friends. Breakfast friends, church friends, mahjong friends...she was so loved. 2.) When I called to tell her I was pregnant and we were going to name our daughter after her Mother "Hazel" she said, after a SUPER long pause..."You still have time to change your mind" 😂 3.) She sent all of her grandkids the exact dollar amount of their age on every birthday. I remember when I was 9 I asked her if she would send me one ten or two fives when I turned 10. My mother was MORTIFIED but my Grandma loved it. 4.) She loved the slightly naughty and inappropriate. The hotter the take and spicier the vocabulary the better, she loved to be shook. 5.) She bought a Mercedes Benz in the early 2000's so we had to give her a rap name, and G Nance became her nickname for the rest of her life.
I was fortunate enough to sneak off the island and visit her a week before her death on really good day, something I'm so grateful for. Love you to the moon, G Nance! We'll miss you down here. But I promise to keep the takes hot and the language spicy in your honor 🫶
