When I needed to feel Loved who would I call? My Nana
When will I call My Nana? Everyday still. Just because you are not down here with us doesn't mean that I will stop calling you. I am already missing you. But your voice will always be in my ears for Me to hear.

In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.
