Nana,

Words cannot describe how much how blessed I am to call you Nana. Thanks for always being there for me through all the ups and downs of life. I promise you that I'm going to be a New York Yankee someday just like you used to always say. I'm so grateful for all the memories we have shared together and may many more come one day. As you said, it's not goodbye it's so long for now.
