Becoming a nanna for the first time, it's made me think of my own nanna often over the past month or so.

Journalling: As I became a nanna for the first time my thoughts over the past month have turned to my own nanna, dad's mum. I was her first grandchild, just like Saxon is my first grandchild. Did she have the same sense of wonderment and awe with me, the feeling of instant love, like I do with him? She passed away in 1970 when I was just shy of 6 and I have no real physical memory of her, just a sense of a large imposing woman, but maybe I only remember that from photographs, of which there are very few. Saxon will not have to worry about that. There will be many many photos taken throughout his life, just try and stop me. Every moment will be documented. Because I don't remember my paternal nanna, not like I knew my maternal grandma who lived a very long life ... when Tabatha asked me what I wanted to be called I instantly said ‘nanna'. A nod to the woman I didn't really know. Did she hold me close and breathe in my baby scent? Did she cuddle me like I adore cuddling Saxon? Did she have quiet conversations with me and tell me lots of things that I was yet to understand? All these answers I'll never know. I do know though that I will be the best nanna I can possibly be to Saxon and all the grandchildren that come after him. Nanna looked so uncomfortable with me in the few pictures that I have, but I intend to be the nanna that is down on the floor playing with my grandchildren, running after them, kicking a football and giving piggy back rides. So yes, my name is nanna and they'll never have to doubt the love.
