Today we will be celebrating the life and legacy of Nana. Jamie’s Nana, Ella May Watling, was one of the first people I met from Jamie’s family, about 11 or 12 long years ago. From that moment she treated me the same as all of her other grandchildren. In my mind and heart, she was my Nana, and we will miss her more than we can possibly imagine. A week before she went into the hospital, I woke up with a strong need to make a trip out to take some photos of her. None of would have expected her to leave us so quickly, so the images are very special. We took my laptop to the hospital and played her a slideshow of the images from the recent post, ‘Cupcakes’ so Nana could see her great-grandchildren one last time.

Her granddaughter Jacquie, wrote a great little note about her on the JWT Reedmakers blog a while back which sums everything up just right.

So, here’s an image of our Nana a few weeks ago. We will love you always.
