We took Nana to the airport this morning to fly back home. I drew a picture yesterday of our apartment here, Nana's house back in the UK and an aeroplane in the sky between them over a wiggly blue line sea. I explained to DD that Nana was going to get on the aeroplane and fly over the sea to her own home. I asked her a few times where Nana was going and she said 'aeroplane'. Great, I thought. She gets it. But since we got back she keeps knocking on our guest room door and waiting for Nana to answer it. So sad. Clearly it's going to take a while to sink in.
So in celebration of our three weeks together, this week's Sunday Saying is for Nana's everywhere.
A grandmother is a little bit parent, a little bit teacher, and a little bit best friend.
