This has been just too hard to write... but it's been more than a month and I think I can finally share...
We’ve been privileged and utterly blessed to have Penny in our lives.
She’d been Anderson's (our son), nanny since he was 3 months old. From early on, they forged a special bond and built such a connection that us simply calling her Miss Penny would not do... she lovingly became his “My Penny.” She was his and he was hers.
Penny delighted in Anderson’s every obsession from dinosaurs to Harry Potter to Pokemon, back to Harry Potter then Star Wars and old movies; she doted on his every success, cheered him on at baseball games, flag football and Tae Kwon Do, and she fiercely protected him when he was bullied in school or defended him when a teacher was seemingly too harsh and unfair. Even as he grew up and no longer needed a nanny, he loved spending time with her, watching old movies, singing songs, sharing tea, - he was so happy to introduce her to a new matcha green tea at their last “tea party”.
Over the last nearly 16 years, we’ve celebrated birthdays and holidays, dinner dates, tea parties, playdates, hurricane recovery sleep-overs, and movie nights. She sometimes watched Anderson while we went on vacation and sometimes, she even went on vacation with us - to the beach or glamping at Disney and once even to Alaska on a cruise, thus checking both Alaska and a cruise off her “bucket list” a few years ago.
Penny’s been our emergency contact for Anderson at doctors’ offices and schools and when we go on vacation for so long. I don’t know how I’ll ever be able to remove her number from my “Favorites.”
Penny may have been Anderson’s “My Penny,” but the love and affection we have felt for her has made her “our” Penny and a part of our family.
We will forever and always love Penny, but we know we must take comfort knowing that she will be looking over us from Heaven above.
Until our next big hug... 💕
