I'll always remember...

I remember being little and just absolutely cherishing the times I got to come to your house.
I remember car rides with you. Even that time you crossed a railroad track WHILE THE TRAIN WAS COMING! Haha.
I remember that old treadmill. You used to hate it when I'd roll on it without turning it on. You never let me turn it on =P
I remember the first time I ever rode my little bike the 5 blocks or so to your house.
I remember that time I fell from the top of the stairs. You scooped me up and held me tight. You made sure I was all right and loved me right back to happiness.
I remember running around your yard while you just smiled and watched.
I remember riding that yellow dump truck all over the house.
I remember that time I lost two teeth eating a bag a chips, and then the next morning woke up with 10$ under my pillow!
I remember creeping down into your basement, even when you told me not to, and your scolding me because it wasn't safe for tiny little girls.
I remember going on those walks to the mailbox down and across the street. I was always so excited to be the one to open the mailbox.
I remember all the talks we had sitting on your bed. I could talk to you for hours. I loved your stories and you always loved mine.
I remember you showing me how to cook little things.
I remember you teaching me things.
I remember you being one of my heros.
Oh, I remember so very many good things.
But I also remember when you got sick.
I remember the day you forgot who I was.
I'll remember today too. You're so frail and sick now.

I miss you already and you're not even gone.
I miss your stories.
I had so many more questions for you. So much I wanted to know.


I miss you, Nana. I'll always remember who you were.
