My Missing Person
Meet my Nonny – she passed on 4/12/07 and not a day goes by that I don’t think of her.
While planning my wedding I can’t help but wish Nonny was here to share this day with me. Let me give you a little background. I am the youngest of 5. I was the last to be Bat Mitzvah’d and I am the last to get married. I was the only grandchild that lived near Nonny for the 5 years before her passing. During those years we shared many lunches at Neiman’s Mariposa Room or Kate Mantiliniswhile Sunday brunches were spent enjoying Nate-N-Al’s 'soul food.' We would chat about Hollywood gossip, movies, and day to day life. It’s safe to say Nonny and I had the closest relationship amongst all the grandchildren.
Everyone got to share their special day with Nonny - It isn’t fair that she'll miss mine.
There is always one significant person (if not more) missing from a special day. And life isn’t always fair. Nonny was the leader of our pack. She and my Papa built my families foundation - it's a foundation we continue building and are extremely grateful for.
I have been thinking of ways to incorporate Nonny into our special day...And then it hit me, her tuna - its WICKED - we gotta have it!!!
I recently made it and Goose loved it!
You will love it too =)
**Always thinking of you Hot Stuff – Enjoy Enjoy, xoxo
Thanks for sharing this about your Nonny. Sounds like a great lady and you were lucky to have her and your relationship for the 5 years you lived near her. Indeed she will be there in spirit!
I'm a So Cal gal who found a Mr and a home in the beautiful PNW. My mind goes a million miles per minute and thanks to my ADD I quit trying to keep up. I hope this e-journal offers organizational assistance for my brain chaos - - after all I am trying to plan a wedding, organization is needed!
