Welcome to Nanna & Big Guy’s Daily Journey

Welcome to the chronicles of Nanna and Big Guy here in Beaufort, SC. This blog is our way of capturing their daily lives—the routines, the surprises, the challenges and the joy (?) that comes with caring for two remarkable people in their golden years.

Nanna, with her steadfast faith, continues to be a rock, acting more like she’s 75 than 95 years old!! Her prayer cards and rosary beads are never far from reach; but, nothing compares to her appetite for, well, food!

Big Guy, facing dementia and macular degeneration, keeps us all on our toes – his humor and spontaneous determination remind us of what once was and reminds us of what truly matters.

Here’s what you’ll find here:
Daily Happenings – the little stories from each day that make us laugh, cry and/or scratch our heads.
Appointments & Care – updates from nurses, doctors, health visits, to celebrate progress, share challenges.
Family Moments – visits, conversations and the small victories that brighten their days.

Life at 95 and 91 is not always easy, but it is filled with faith, resilience and love. By sharing these moments, we hope to give family, friends and anyone following along a window into the extraordinary ordinary life of Nanna & Big Guy.

So grab a Peroni, coffee or sweet tea, settle in & walk with us through this journey of care, laughter, faith, & fun!
