Henry, once I found out I was pregnant, it was my prayer that your Great Nana was going to be here to meet you...and she was. In fact, she was able to hold you and love on you two times. Today, she went to Heaven. I will always wish that you were a little older so that you could know her like I knew her. She was the LIGHT in our lives. She filled everyone's heart with such joy and love. She was the glue that held our family together and now we feel the hole.
We are at peace knowing that she is in Heaven. Selfishly, I want her back so you can meet her once you are a little older. God still answered my prayers though. Nana prayed for you every day while I was pregnant. She was so excited to meet you. She cried the first time I brought you to meet her and then bragged about you to all of her friends at the nursing home. She loved you the few weeks she knew you, Henry. I am SO grateful to God for allowing me to see her hold you, it is something I will NEVER forget. It is one of my favorite memories of your first few weeks.
Some of my favorite pictures of the two of you and Great Nana before you...
You can't see it from this angle, but Great Nana was crying. I had just put you in her arms.
