Feeling diagnosed with a mixture of joy and sadness, tears pouring down my cheeks as I remembered my nana’s loving face smiling at me. Nervracking and as scared as I can ever be, standing in front of everyone made it really hard for me to share the most memorable time that I had with my nana in my life. I visualized my nana saying to me “I’m proud of you moko” which made me cried harder. I heard Mum said “come on you can do it” I knew I could do it, but I just can not get myself to do it. I kept hearing my nana’s voice saying “I’m proud of you moko” made me felt weaker and weaker. My mum started to read my letter but I did not like the way she read it so I took the paper off her and started reading it all over again. Snivelling like a baby as I carried on reading because it felt like it just happened yesterday. I felt like I wanted to scream so Nana can hear me and may be awaken and wiped the tears off my face. It has been too long since I heard her voice. But I managed to compose myself more as I kept reading. I know Nana is watching over me now and I know that she is really proud of me. “Love you Nana”.

ReplyDeleteHi Leander I really like the captivating introduction of your writing. 'Mixture of emotions'. It really attracts my attention as a reader and makes me want to read more. I am sad you have gone through the pain of loosing a loved one. I'm sure her memories will live on within your whanau.
ReplyDeleteLeander, I had the honour of knowing your Nana and I know that she always spoke very highly of her Whanau and her family were hugely important to her. It made me sad thinking that she is no longer with us anymore but I also have many, many wonderful memories of her that I keep dear to me and I think of her every now and then, espically if anything comes up realting to our school library!
