Loving Nana

LOVING NANA She was born the cutest baby girl. She loved from the very beginning. She loved her mama, she loved her brothers and sisters. She, quite simply, LOVED. She grew into a little girl. She bounced and pounced, and played. She loved her mama, She loved her brothers and sisters, She loved her friends. But mostly, she LOVED. As she matured into a beautiful young lady, SHE was loved. She continued to love her mom and her friends. She loved that her brothers and sisters were loved, wherever they were. And she LOVED. Her body and life changed and, before our eyes, she was now a loving mommy. She ADORED and nurtured her babies, missed her siblings and friends, loved and admired her mother. She just LOVED. As life evolved, sadly, she became a frightened mother. She saw and endured so much hurt, so very much pain. And, yet, she LOVED. She so loved her children, she loved her mother and strived to be as strong. She knew she had to move on and, in doing so, she developed into a brave mother. In spite of this, she LOVED. She humbly asked for help. She trusted that all would be well, and she became a gracious and giving mom. She loved all those who helped. She continued to LOVE. As she moved on, she was taken care of, but she regressed into a withdrawn being. She was not forgotten, and she began to pray. Many prayers were answered one day, and she was given a home. She was the friend, a quiet friend. Slowly, but steadily, she became a trusting friend. She SO deserved this love. She helped those in need by ALLOWING to be loved. Through this, she was now a loyal friend. And she never stopped LOVING. She was cared for and treated like the Princess that she was. ALL were happy. She LOVED, and she was LOVED. She came to believe that her life was fulfilled, her work was done. She understood that she had achieved her purpose on Earth. She joyfully accepted that she was a child of God and must go to Him. She helped her loved ones to KNOW this too. Always, and above all, she LOVED.
