Nana On My Mind


I buried a nickel under the porch when I was 8, she said, but one day my grandma died & they sold the house & I never got to go back for it.  A nickel used to mean something, I said.  She nodded.  It still does, she said & then she started to cry.

Missing her every day, she never wanted to leave this little house and move away but so glad she did so I could have all those years in NC with her. Wish time moved more slowly.

...and kids today spend so much time wishing their life away. Sad.
