NaNa and PopPop were a match made in heaven. Reading your words makes me realize how fortunate I was (being the oldest grandchild) to have spent so much times with then. My memories, even the oldest ones, are still so vivid. I'm sure that's because of the love they bestowed on me, each and every time I was with them. <br /><br />All the Best,<br />PeterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7292536888851930130.post-13519583803323563192011-09-08T18:58:55.732+01:002011-09-08T18:58:55.732+01:00Amber, I love this!!

Some day I'll write down all my memories of Nana and Pop-Pop--there are so many to share. One thing that inspires me often is Nana's contentment with her life. She rarely complained and was always happy being where she was and doing what she was doing. Hope all is well--I miss you!<br />xoxo KarinKarin Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16817122856999638062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7292536888851930130.post-47236082578546570312011-09-08T17:43:03.610+01:002011-09-08T17:43:03.610+01:00I love what you wrote, Amber. I, being one of the ...I love what you wrote, Amber. I, being one of the much older cousins, am lucky enough to have known Nana and Pop-Pop very well. I remember Pop-Pop making the trip over to Japan to see you. He was enamored with you. He said you talked like a truck driver. Pop-Pop used to laugh a lot, especially after exclaiming something, much like Popeye. You would say to him, "Not funny!" He got a big kick out of that. Pop-Pop was a show biz guy - actor and musician - at one point. Nana made him quit the glamorous life (he was in a play with Mae West on Broadway!) and go into something more stable. Hence, he became a laundryman. Hope to see you soon. Love, RandyRandyhttp://www.randykaplan.comnoreply@blogger.com
