Nana
Nana is what I call my grandma on my moms side of the family. My Nana is one of my favorite people alive. There have been countless times where we have laughed, cried and talked about anything and everything. She always gives me the best advice and cheers me on the hardest. She cares for me in everything that I do and genuinluy just wants me to succeed in life. It is such a blessing to have her in my life. I have such an amazing relationship with her and I love her so much.But the thing that means the most to me is how deeply she loves me. She believes in me in a way that feels safe and unconditional. When she tells me she’s proud of me, it hits differently.
She loves music just as much as me and we have very similar music taste so we have bounded so very much over that. She also loves sports just like I do and she loves to make fun little wagers with me.I admire how much she’s done throughout her life. She’s been through so many experiences, and each one has made her stronger, wiser, and more compassionate. Whenever she tells me stories about her past, I can hear the strength in her voice and the love she’s carried with her through everything. It inspires me to stay strong and keep going, just like she always has.Some of my favorite memories with her aren’t even big, dramatic moments,they’re the simple ones.
More about her
My Nana inspires me in a way that feels warm and comforting, almost like home. She has this soft, steady presence that makes everything feel okay, even on the days when life feels overwhelming. Just being around her reminds me of what really matters,love, kindness, and taking time to appreciate the little things. One of the things I treasure most about our relationship is how she always makes me feel understood. No matter what mood I’m in or what I’m going through, she somehow knows exactly what to say,or not say. Sometimes she just listens, and somehow that helps more than anything else. With her, I never have to pretend to be anything but myself.
Her advice is something I take to heart, even when she says it in her gentle, almost effortless way. She has a way of turning complicated things into something simple and clear. When I’m confused or stressed, her words calm me down and give me perspective. It’s like she holds wisdom in the palm of her hand without even trying. What inspires me most about Nana is her kindness. Not the kind that needs attention or recognition,just genuine, everyday kindness that touches people without them even realizing it. She treats everyone with respect and patience, and she always manages to see the good in people. Watching her has taught me what it looks like to have a truly good heart.
