Requiescat in Pace, Nana
My Nana.
I was named after her.
I was named after her.
She taught me how to recite my prayers and how to recite poetry.
She loved intensely but didn't know how to be loved, until the end.
The end that we believe is just the beginning.
My Nana.
I can't sum her up on a blog; maybe someday I can try in the novel she always wanted me to write.
I remember with gratitude my friends who came from all over the country -- even those who had never met her -- to pay their respects. Thank you, Emily and Jenny and Colleen and Toby and John. It was nine years ago, but I am still so grateful.
Rest in Peace, Nana.
