Precious Nana
This past July my Nana moved to Sherman which is a town north of McKinney. Yesterday Jake and I made a trip to visit her. She is very dear to our family and precious to her grandchildren. She celebrated her 87th birthday this year. Jake is her fifth great grandchild (4 boys and one girl). I fear Gracie will always be out numbered! She hasn't been feeling well lately, and I hope our visit would cheer her up, even if it was only for the time we were there. It was a great chat. She took a ride is her wheel chair outside, ate her lunch, and showed us her room (including all her pictures). I cherish the time I spend with her, and I am glad I can now include Jake in those memories. He smiled and cooed at her, which made her proud and happy. These moments can never be replaced!

My Nana has prayed for Jake's safe arrival as long as everyone else has. A dear story me is one my mom told me. Nana was in the hospital while I was pregnant, and I couldn't visit because I was on bed rest. She was very sick, and the hospital priest came to ask her if there was anything he could do for her at that moment. In the middle of HER failing period of health, she sweetly asked him for one prayer. That prayer was for her unborn great grandson Jake, who she knew her Jessica wanted very badly to arrive, and arrive safely. It was the most selfless act she could have done. Her thoughts were on Jake only in her moment of need! When my mom concluded the story, I was full of tears. That is my Nana-precious!
