Nan Nan

Dearest Nan Nan,

Your generosity will live on through your teddy bears.
Your comfort and tenderness through your mashed potato recipe.
Your wisdom and stubbornness through your antiques and beautiful possessions.
Your optimism through your glistening Rings!
Your touch through nothing more than your unforgettable hugs.

You were so many things to me, and you taught me that it is OK to show the people that you love that you really love them.

You loved us every second of everyday, and for that I am forever grateful to you, because Love is a special thing and we all need to love and be loved.

Thank you for spoiling me rotten, making me mashed potatoes when I was sick, taking me to the pool when my Mom wouldn't, buying me that Dress that my Mom wouldn't, pretty much everything that my Mom wouldn't let me do:)))

Thank you for teaching me how to bargain, I wouldn't be where I am today without that skill, but most importantly, thank you for being my NAN NAN and truly believing that I am the most wonderful thing in the world, even if it's not exactly accurate:)

You will always hold a special place in my heart, and your memory will live on.

I hope that you are where you wanted to be, be proud of yourself, your children, grand-children, your life and your memory. Your accomplishments never cease to amaze me.

I will love you always and forever.

Sincerely,
Your Clairee

Identity Crisis

1.) Left ID and credit card in cab because of my own stupid mistakes.(aka incoherent)
2.) Left bag with all important docs visible and car got broken into.
3.) Spent two weeks canceling all bank accounts, passports, reporting identity theft, and to be honest freaking out just a little bit.
4.) Guy finds my bag with everything in it besides my credit cards, and I get bag back.

I am going to look at the positive side and point out that I only spent a $160.00, a few phone calls, and irritable moments to get my identity back.

I guess sometimes you have to learn the hard way, or maybe I should just start being responsible, but who are we kidding??
