My grandma was the most loving and most selfless person I have ever met. Although nan and I lived across the country from each other, in our hearts; we were closer than two peas in a pod. She dedicated her life to others; whether that be with her everlasting love and support she brings through the positivity to achieve your maximum potential or her always having her eggs and bologna on the table at 9am sharp. She is the one person I wanted to know all my achievements because she was able to help me to love and find who I am through what I can do best. She has spread generosity to our whole family and we are all filled with endless amounts of luck to have even a fraction of her selflessness. Every day that goes by makes me miss her more, but also gives me extreme optimism for the endless guidance she's given me and gives me still. She is always supporting me in my heart and telling me to study in my head, but every time I have accomplished something I know she is the one who is most proud. She is the most lovely grandmother and best friend a girl could ever want. I am blessed to have had such an inspiring role model as a child. If i grow up to be even the slightest bit like my grandmother I will be more than grateful.
God bless you Nan I love you.
Noelle XO
