Nana passed away while my dad was in the hospital recovering from his knee replacement surgery. Whata trial my dad was already going through and then to be handed the death of his mom and absolutely NO WAY for him to be able to be there for his family, to help with the arrangements. He has always been the rock of his family and for him not to be able to be there for his sister and brother, he was having a hard time. We have ALWAYS thought of my dad as SUPERMAN only because he always thought of himself as that and always acted like SUPERMAN. This was the first time ever, that my dad wasn't able to do what he wanted and push himself to that limit. It would jeopardize his life. If he went he had the chance to get bloodclots and die. His health wasn't 100% and he needed to focus on getting better. Thank goodness we have the gospel and we know the plan of salvation. Nana was gone and she would want my dad to stay put and take care of himself.
The two of them had such a close relationship. She loved my dad so much and it showed whenever they were together. They loved to laugh and talk story.

Nana, Trevor (great-grandson) and Dad
Nana with my mom and dad
My dad loved his mom so much that there wasn't anything that he wouldn't do for her. He would run to her at a drop of a hat, no matter how far.
He always wanted to protect her.
He always had such great appreciation for his mom and all that she did for him growing up. He NEVER forgot what she did for him.
We will always love our memories that she created for us. She will always be our grandma who jump roped, swam and played outside with us.She would tell us that she was a little girl in an old body.
I know that's where we get our mentality that we don't want to grow up.
