Painting, drawing and coloring together. We were very close, she was like my second mom. I would spend every birthday and holiday with her. Even after birthdays and holidays, we'd spend almost everyday together. I remember one time when I was about 6 or 7, we were coloring and I didn't know how to color in the lines or in one way, it was everywhere. My nana, as I called her, told me to color in the lines. I took that to offense, called my mom and told her what my nana had said. I started crying and told my nana if she didn't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. My mom told her all I wanted to do was spend time with her, nothing more or less. She apologized and asked for me to forgive her, me being young and forgiving, forgave her. Sometimes I would bring that day up and we'd laugh. I couldn't imagine my life without her, she was apart of me and I didn't want to ever have to say goodbye.. Sadly 3 years ago I did, it was the most painful goodbye yet. November 13, 2010 my nana was diagnosed with colon cancer, incurable. They
