Condolence: As I woke up this morning knowing that I was headed to say goodbye to a woman that made every single person she met feel like a long lost family member, I thought I would be overcome with sadness and a feeling of loss. It had been one full week since Mary Juppé Cammisaro, a woman who I and many others lovingly called "Nan" had taken her last breath. Her smile could instantly put you into a better mood and her sense of humor(dirty at times!) could make you laugh until you cried. I thought about all the times I saw her and how she would always tell me what a "nice guy" I was, how I was her "favorite boyfriend", or how I had such a "good heart" for taking care of her first granddaughter and 5 of her great grandchildren. She even surprised me with my very own handmade blanket once. She treated me like family from the very second she met me. So with all of those memories going through my mind this morning I was surprised that I wasn't overcome by my emotions. Then as I kneeled in front of her one last time a feeling started to hit me and what came out caught me off guard. I actually started to laugh a little. I realized that the reason I wasn't overcome with sadness is because I never spent a sad moment with her. Nan loved me and always made sure I knew it. She made me laugh and smile more than almost anyone I know and I loved her for it. Growing up I didn't have a big family. I didn't have family gatherings where I had generations and generations of family around telling stories and laughing at all of the silly things that had happen over the years. Nan loved that she was the matriarch of hers and because of her that big family that I always wanted I now have. There is a saying "You don't know what you've got till it's gone", well for me I know exactly what I have and I have Nan to thank for that. Nan...because of you I am a Son, a Husband, a Father, a Brother, and a Uncle. You have given me a gift I will never be able to repay and I promise I will love, respect and honor all of the values that you started. Thank you for 12 beautiful years of love, laughs and memories. Until we see each other again...I love you always, Anthony
