My Nan taught me a lot-
but two lessons/phrases were uttered the most.
āDonāt trust men, they only want one thing.ā
Problem solved Nanny, Iām as gay as they come
and never gave one man that one thing.
The other thing sheād often tell me was
āWe get two gifts in this world; people we love
and sleep to save us from missing them when theyāre gone.ā
The second lesson I think of often and relate to heavily.
Both were true for my Nan;
she deserved a better life.
Wouldāve been Nanās 85th birthday last week-
If thereās something after all of this I hope she celebrated
with Ma, Uncle Jim, Louise, Dad, Pop, Stevie and Bev.
Love and miss you Nanny.
