Anna Mae Baskin

Today was no easier. It´s been 20 years and I still hurt. I know how lucky I am that you were a huge part of my life. I miss you every single day and have so much to thank you for. I still hear your voice on our last phone call... I still hear your chuckle of a laugh. I smell the pancakes in your kitchen. Nana I miss you today and every single day between. Love you Nana!

Nana it´s been a long 19 years. This never gets easier. I miss you more than anything. I find myself lost and I think what would Anna Mae do? You made me a better person. Love you! Keya

Missing my mom on my 61st birthday. I remembered when I turned 35 and she said how can you be 35 if I'm 35. I said we must be mother and daughter twins. She never looked a day over 35. I miss her jokes. Rest in peace Anna Mae.

Happy Heavenly Birthday Nana! I should be calling you to interrupt you from watching your recorded soap operas but I can´t. I should be able to listen to you laugh at the funny Birthday card I would have sent you but I can´t. These days don´t get easier and we all miss you! Love You! Happy Heavenly Birthday

I wish I had a little more time with you. Tomorrow will be 17 years and so many days and nights of me wanting to call you for just 5 more minutes. Interrupting you watching your stories to ask how to make my pancake mix taste like yours. It´s the compassion and kindness I miss the most. I just needed more time.

I needed to find this photo of us today.

16 years and I´m still lost. I don´t have any more words than I did when We said goodbye. I have asked why, I will never understand. I have learned to find joy knowing were a part of my life and I have such wonderful memories of you but this hurts. Please watch over us. This world is missing your big heart and kindness right now. I love you and miss you Nana! Keya
