I am an emotional roller coaster today. Loss, life, growing, years going by... it's all jumbled up in my head right now.
The day is strange for me. I miss Nana. A chapter in Ellie's life is closing. Another one is starting. And there is a strange connection between Ellie and the Nana she did not get to meet. Like the song says, "I think I caught [her] spirit later that same year/ I'm sure I heard [her] echo in my baby's newborn tears." I catch a glimpse of my grandmother in Ellie on occasion. The first time it happened, I was a bit freaked. Now I just marvel at how my little girl carries so much of my Nana in her heart.
1977: Nana holding me for the first time
2011: Look, Nana, I'm all grown up.
2006: A mini-me is born.
2011: My crazy little faerie.
