A Sad Farewell

Today we sadly had to say goodbye

to Piper and Elliotte's great-grandmother.

She was fondly referred to as "Nanny Marjorie" by Piper

and will be missed dearly by her entire family.

I'm sure in years to come,

Elliotte will be disappointed to find out that she never got to meet her Nanny Marjorie,

but perhaps she will find some comfort in knowing 

that she laughed out loud for the first time
just hours after her great-grandmother's passing.

I've heard stories of babies and small children

being able to see people and things that we cannot,

so I'd like to think that Nanny Marjorie stopped by to meet our little Elliotte

and to tickle her toes. 

Thoughts like this warm my heart.

Nanny Marjorie is now in a better place without any pain,

but will be missed forever.
