My last grandparent, Grandpa, passed away this March. His wife, my Nanny, and my namesake, passed over a decade before him.
Outside Grandpa's church, there is a small tree that was planted by his quartet friends, complete with a plaque of dedication.
I wasn't sure how to honour my first Christmas without my Grandpa - my mother's father, and MY biggest supporter as I have been supporting Mum. I didin't know how to honour my Nanny, and I guess in some spiritual way (if I can believe in it), the first Christmas in a long time that Nanny and Grandpa have been together.
So I knit the tree.
Merry Christmas, Nanny and Grandpa. I miss you and love you forever.
It looks fantastic! I'm sure he loves it.
ReplyDeleteThat is a wonderful idea. :) It looks great, and I bet your Nanny and Grandpa love that you're thinking about them and keeping their memory warm.
ReplyDeleteI love this. <3
