Hey Nana :) Just wanted to drop another note to you. I know I am literally just one of thousands of people whose life you have influenced and who love you dearly, but I wanted to write you anyway. A drop in the ocean :) You have an ocean of love and care and awe in your behalf :) What a perfect example of how one person, can make such a huge difference in the world. And you do it one by one, with each individual person. So thank you for always making me feel so loved and cared about. My dad sent me a great letter about his visit with you this last week, and I wanted to include it, just to show you how much you matter to people."Nana is absolutely more amazing than I have ever been remotely aware of. She is being ravaged by cancer throughout her body. She can't eat. Has chosen to let nature take its course, will not be nourished by I.V. . Hannah, she has never appeared to me more intellectual, more wise, beautiful, kind, so full of love. She is just radiant, glowing with love and the spirit. She exhibits peace and a calming sense of joy. Her complete focus is on her family knowing how special they are and how proud she is of each and every one of her posterity. She just intensely pierces your soul and makes sure you know how much she loves you. Absolutely zero fear. Just unfathomable love and certainty. People walk in (100's per day while I was there) expecting to cheer her up. But they leave buoyed up. Angel, if you want an example of incredible grace, your Nana has just raised the bar. Hannah, I really had no idea how deeply she has touched so many people. So much emotion by so many people of all ages. I am so proud. I hope you can turn your emotions into positive energy for good like she is right now."You're amazing Nana, I love you. Thank you for not becoming a nun like you had planned haha. But seriously, your example and strength to grab on to this gospel is the greatest gift you could give to any of us, and you did it whole-heartedly, and then devoted your life to it. And I love you for that. I know this gospel it true. And I hope to follow your footsteps and life with the same certainty you did. Your works back up your testimony, and you really are a legacy to me :) If anything I really just want you to know that you have a grand-daughter who has benefited from your testimony and decisions, and that my testimony is a branch off yours. It's probably the only thing I can really say that has much worth. I know the Savior lives, and that he lives for us. I know that Heavenly Father is a God of purpose, and he knows us personally. I know that the fulness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ is restored on earth, and it brings us joy. The Book of Mormon is true, and gives me strength. I know that families matter, and that the power of Heavenly Father seals us together. I absolutely know that Priesthood power is real, and I am so grateful to have a father who gave me opportunities to feel that for myself. The Atonement brings joy and fills holes and gives us potential. I love that I have the opportunity to share that transformation and joy with others. And I am so grateful for it.
I love you Nana. And I love gump. Give him a hug for me.My time's up, or else I could keep writing all day :)
Love you Nana. Have a good day today!Love hannah
