Hi Nanny! I am missing you a lot today. I constantly think about you. The holidays this year were so tough knowing you weren't there. Especially my birthday. This is the first year that I didn't get to wake up to you singing me happy birthday. It hurts my heart to know that I will never ever get that again. Life is so rough without you. I've been through a lot since you left us, and all I wanted was to crawl into the pocket and cry to you and listen to your great advice. You are the one person who was always there for me, even when I didn't deserve it. I would give anything to have to back. Anything. I hope you know how much I love you Nanny. Our family is so lost without you.
-Your Dulley Dulley.
