"My Grandmother was an amazing woman. She was my everything! I called her Nay Nay. She always knew how to cheer me up and we had the best conversations. I learned so much from her and I loved her stories about her childhood. My Grandmother Hilda was so beautiful, and so special to me. I love you Nay and I know you are smiling down me. I kept promise to you that I made when I was a little girl. There are no regrets, only plenty of love.????
