Grandmothers

{Post: 258/365}
thinking
about
grandmothers
missing them
remembering
the gifts
and treasures
they left behind
grandma
taught me 
to crochet
and that
nobody is perfect
and there is NOT
only one way
to do something
nanny
taught me
to love
and to nurture
and to improve my scrabble game
grandma 
showed me
courage
compassion
and patience
nanny 
showed me
intelligence
comfort
and faith
and I am grateful
for both
grandma
for a short time
nanny 
for a long time
and both 
gone now but
forever
living inside my heart
