When I was younger, nana would make me and my sisters tea in little cups, one time she made us tea in big cups and her reason was because we were big girls now so we deserved big cups. I still remember that because I was so excited.

Nana had a way of making even the smallest moments feel special. When I was little, she would pour me and my sisters a cup of tea in tiny teacups, so we never felt left out while the adults sat around with theirs. And of course, there were always biscuits to go with it.

I´ll never forget the way she´d wink at me from across the table, a little gesture that made me feel seen, loved, and connected to her in a way that was just ours.

I will miss those moments deeply, but I will always carry them with me. Nana will forever live on in our hearts, in our memories, and in the way she always brang us together
