Nancy, you are remembered


It was just like yesterday when Nancy and I were growing up and she used to guide me around. She and I would walk arm in arm on the beach. We would go swimming in the ocean and she was always there to guide me. We would build sand castles and sand pools on the beach and she was always there right beside me. We played ball games together, we played hide and seek, and we pitched marbles.

Nancy read all Mom’s magazines to me and cut out all of those wondrous pictures of famous folks for me. She patiently pasted them in scrap books for me and she and I would talk about it all at night as we played cards.

Ah yes! Those days gone by when Nancy was my constant companion and all of these memories came flooding back to me when she effortlessly put her arm through mine and gently guided me to the bathroom at Nicholas’s wedding. Nancy and Brenda were my two constant playmates while we were growing up. We ran together, chased the dogs on the beach together, and so much more. We laughed together, dreamed together, and hoped together.

Now we are grown and how I wish that I could see Nancy more often. She lives in Venezuela and I live in Canada. We shall be forever linked by those happy memories.

I’m Donna J. Jodhan, your friendly accessibility advocate, wishing you a terrific day.
