20/365


This post is dedicated to my husband who lost his Nana 10 years ago today. We were married on October 3, 1998 and she was unable to make it to the wedding because she was in the hospital. Right after the wedding ceremony Chris and I went to her hospital room with his dad, brother, aunt, uncle and cousins to take some family pictures. I remember bringing her a scarf to cover the IV in her neck and the nurses all scrambled to put some makeup on her. The clock shown in this photo is the last gift she gave to us for our wedding - how symbolic as our time with her was cut to short. The pictures in my wedding album are the last we have of her. She is missed every day, she was a wonderful woman and we love her very much.

  1. I love that you and your husband made a point to go to his nana's hospital room after your wedding and that she is a part of your wedding album! This picture you took of your album along with the clock she gave you is a beautiful tribute to her memory and what she meant to all of you. Great job, Candy!
