Sweets for a Sweet Lady

Yesterday, Chance and I paid a visit to his sweet grandmother, Nano. She is just one of the sweetest most precious ladies. She has such a pure and kind heart. She is a godly woman in such a simple and unassuming way. Every time I visit her I think about how I wish I could be more like her. She was especially funny yesterday. I love to hear Chance laugh at the stories that she tells. She told us about how she was the only daughter in a family of boys and her father gathered the boys to tell them they had to take care of their sister. One brother doubled his fist and said that he would be happy to take care of her. She said her Dad started to take off his belt and all of a sudden she became to most treasured and wonderful sister there ever was.

We took her homemade peanut butter cookies and homemade chocolate chip cookies. She ate 3 of them right in a row. She really loves her sweets. She hardly weighs anything so she can afford to indulge. Nano always had yummy homemade treats at her house. She kept bags of her delicious homemade peanut butter cookies in the freezer. They were my favorite cookies. I loved it when we got there just as she put them out and they were still a little cold. YUM!

I know her memory fades in and out - she has good days and bad days, but the same sweet lady that welcomed me into her family 18 and 3/4 years ago is still very much there. She always asks at least 5 times if Michael Chance is behaving himself. I always say yes...and then she says "well he better be because if he doesn't behave - then we'll have to take care of that." She used to always ask me that every time I saw her or talked to her on the phone.

She also tells you how cute you are. Yesterday, Chance was told how handsome he was three different times. Nano still makes you feel good about yourself - just like old times.
