This past month in March, my husbands father passed away. Only 10 months after his wonderful wife passed away last year. Right after her funeral last year I felt such a need for my children to have a book in their hands to help them remember their special "Nana". I didn't feel like I had much time to devote to it but I wanted something NOW! So using the pictures I already had scanned for them and writing a short 1 page life sketch I was on my way. As I started I was only going to do a book on Nana... but as I worked on it, I could not do Nana without Bompa because they just go hand in hand in our life and our mind. So this is what I put together......
After putting it together, before I even published it, my husband wanted me to share it with his dad. So we went over together and showed it to him on his big screen TV so he could see each page (using the preview mode from my computer). As we looked at it page by page and I read to him what it said, it put tears in his eyes and tears in ours. He was so appreciative and wanted to share it with all of his children and grandchildren. He decided to give it as a Christmas present to every single one of them.
I was so thankful for his foresight and generosity as he slipped away from us. We already had a special book in everyone's hands to help them remember their special grandparents...Nana and Bompa.Make a book about the special people in your life!
