Being one of seven children, she was the one person that I could go visit, and be the center of her attention. She would fill the big old claw foot tub up with bubbles, and I could soak forever there. She made up her big old metal bed with tons of fluffy covers and feather pillows for me, and even though it was really cold in the huge attic bedroom, it was the most comfortable sleep I ever had, even to this day. My Nanny would take me downtown, in Washington DC, by streetcar, and go have lunch together, we would then stop by her friends on the way home, to have cookies and tea together. I was never so pampered as when I was with my Nanny, and have never known another like her in my life. She was loving, kind, and tough as nails too. My parents were always loving, and we never were in want of anything, but time. I never felt left out at home, but because my Nanny lived alone a lot, she had that extra time my parents simply never had. They made up for that with family gatherings of about 50 people and weeks of time at the beach in summer. I have been blessed with a wonderful family, but it was my Nanny who showed me how to feel special, and that's hard to do when your a family of 9. I lost my Nanny when I was 16 years old, and if I ever learned one thing in my life, it's how important Grandmothers and Grandfathers can be in a child's life.

"An I really wanna go see her real soon."<br /><br />It gets me because I always loved visiting my grandmothers.
