After she died Papa became the babysitter for my girls. Oh how they loved him and he doted on them. He died two years ago and we still miss him terribly. But I am so glad that my girls got to have several years of that wonderful, sweet relationship.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3801207462566510326.post-59770903720204198882010-02-17T11:53:50.603-08:002010-02-17T11:53:50.603-08:00Thanks, Kimberly.Thanks, Kimberly.Theresa Milsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03477761307315565259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3801207462566510326.post-18839477296063930102010-02-17T11:04:20.308-08:002010-02-17T11:04:20.308-08:00I loved this story.

I love this beautiful couple! I'm so glad that Nana is not alone in her time of life and that she has a big family and furry friends and continues her unique relationship with you and your children. <br /><br />It's great to know that you have one holiday - i.e. Thanksgiving to have all your family around! I'm very sorry but I laughed out loud with your "alcoholic aunt". Oh dear. There's always one in the family!! And I like that your daughter says "cah"! I only know my New York accents from TV shows and films and think it's a dawg gawn shame that you drop your "aw"'s! LOL! I hope you've managed to find your New York Pizza in between the blog posts...!<br /><br />Take care <br /><br />xOld Kittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13185547869183611159noreply@blogger.com
