Today on June 5, 1903 my grandmother, Mary Constance Madeiros was born in Ponta Delgada on the island of San Miguel in the Portuguese Azores. Happy Birthday Nanny! I miss you everyday. Here are the top ten things I remember about you.
1. Your dimples when you flashed that gorgeous smile of yours.
2. Your beautiful wavy, shiny silver hair.
3. Your kind brown eyes.
4. Your singing Portuguese rhymes and lullabyes to us.
5. Your jitterbugging in a night club when we were in Lisboa! Who knew.
6. Your devotion to your family.
7. Your celebration style for all holidays making them more than special.
8. Your helping me through adolescent heart breaks.
9. Your joie de vivre despite all the hardships you endured.
10. Your amazing life!
Now that I am a grandmother, I hope that I can be for my grandchildren what you were for me. Love and prayers always Nan.
