As many know, our Nona had many gifts. She had the gift of cooking. Her ability to make a homemade pizza that we all clamored for was out of this world. I remember as a little kid that her kitchen was always busy, with who knows what to look forward to next. She had the gift of strength. She was an enormous inspiration for her positivity, truly defining the woman of valor. Like my father said, she was always positive about the tests and tribulations that life threw her, never letting her MS bog her down, ever.
The list of her greatness goes on and on, but the most noteworthy though, I feel, was her gift to make one feel special. If asked which of her grandchildren that she would say was her favorite, she would say they all are, and she meant it. Anyone that merited spending one-on-one time with her automatically felt like the most important person in her life, if not the whole world. The care she took into learning about the happenings in my life is something I will never forget. I remember a special email relationship we had for a period of my university career, particularly while I studied abroad. During our emails I felt like she was a direct investor in me. She wanted to know all my happenings, friends I was meeting and places I was visiting. Trips to Hastings were made sweet with our walks (and rolls) to get ice cream, and yet the sweetest part was getting to push Nona and schmooze with her the way there or back. You could just see how nice it was for her to spend time with her grandchildren, time that I will always cherish.
The lasting effects of the gifts that Nona left me with will be felt forever. She will be missed so much by so many, but with these gifts that Nona had, and then giving them over to her children and grandchildren ensures that Nona lives on. She lives on in all of us. Whenever I recall sayings of Nona or Grandpa to a friend, a memory of them is reignited within me that makes me just want to smile. I would be lucky if I was, or can raise a child, to be half as caring as Nona.
I will miss you Nona, I love you.
