Nancy Cole is my dearest Aunt. I love her more than words can ever describe. She is the most caring and loving person to everyone I have ever met. But she also doesn't let people walk all over her. She stands up for what she believes in. She was my mother figure in life, She was not my mother but she is the person I looked up to as how mothers should be. I have had the worst experiences with mothers if it wasn't for her I probably would have never gotten to be the person I am today. I was always watching her and learning from her. Perfect mother of three boys and one beautiful little girl. She has also gotten me through the hardest times in my life with a just a phone call. I can talk to her about anything.
My point to this is she wasn't my 'mother'. But unknowing to her she was the only person I looked up to as a mother. You don't have to give birth to a child to be their mother my Aunt was my 'mother figure'. She cooks sometimes weird food but most of the time good food. Her house is always clean she is always ready for the day and ALWAYS has a smile on her face no matter how hard situations may get. I didn't need a mother growing up though it probably would have been nice.. I did just fine. Even though I had the worst step mother in the world I had a great mother figure. I seriously find myself asking what would Nanny do... kinda weird but thats the relationship we have. She is my ROLE MODEL. I can only hope to be half the person she is one day!
Just to clear the air I would never want to take another persons child away from them.. that's just wrong. Yes I have told Michael he should fight to stay in Boston's life and thats exactly what we are going to do. If I was a single mother I can honestly say I have no idea how I would act in this situation. I do know who you are as a person before plays a lot in how you will be as a mother. I have always wanted kids and sadly have lost two. Its hard on a girl to go through loosing babies. But once again its just going to help me appreciate my rainbow baby! I do not want people to think Michael and I are going to try and take Boston away from her mother. We are only fighting for our times we are allowed and for it to go smoothly. If we are only allowed one weekend a moth and every other holiday then we will take it because its better than never seeing her at all. We really do love Boston and want to do everything we can to make this work.

My sweet and beautiful neice, I think you are an amazing person. You have a very kind heart. You love your family. You help others. I know you would do anything for me, as I would for you. You are wonderful and I am so happy that you and Michael are happy. You are always in my prayers. Your happiness makes me happy. You have been through much in your short life, but instead of turning away from others you have decided to be a helper rather than a quiter. I am proud of you! I think you and Michael will do amazing things in Hawaii. Find out what ward you are in as soon as you get there and you will immediately have friends and family, since we will be so far away. We will make it our goal to come see you.
I love you! Nanny
