My Nana
My Nana died on May 19, 2001.
I got the call from my Mom while I was driving on the GSP to go visit Nana at the hospital. I just KNEW when I saw my Mom's number come up on my phone.. All she said, at first, was not to go to the hospital, go to her place. I kept saying why why... I knew why. Then she told me, crying, that Nana just died. I had to pull my car over and I bawled. God - I miss her so damn much it hurts.
I can't even talk about her without crying. She was such a fighter..she didn't deserve to die - not this way... Thank GOD the drs said she didn't suffer, at least not at that moment. I had just seen her the night before - She was so cranky! I was trying to show her the proofs of Eldest and Youngest's portraits. She didn't want to see them at first... But, she needed to use the bedpan and I got the nurse for her. She was trying to send me hone but I didn't leave - I remember calling my Mom and telling her that Nana was being cranky. I went back to chat with her some more.. She suddenly asked to see the proofs of the girls. So, I pulled them out, got her glasses and she picked the 1 picture of the girls that me and Mom had agreed upon as the best picture. I remember chatting with her for a few more minutes and she kept telling me to go home. I gave her a kiss, told her that I loved her and I would be back tomorrow to visit. That was the last time I saw my Nana.
I love you Nana. I miss you so very very much.

Sorry to hear about Nana. Losing someone so close is so hard. Even though time as passed, it's still hard I know. Sounds like you were close and wonderful memories of her though.

I'm so sorry, it's still hard, huh? I'm so glad you included pictures. I lived out of town and was flying in to see my grandmother when she was sick and she died right before my flight landed.

I lost my Nana on May 6/04. I miss her so much on some days I don't know how I am supposed to go on without her.
Your Nana looked like lots of fun! I am sorry that you are hurting.

*Big hugs*. I lost three grandparents in 1982, 1983 & 1985. It's hard.

I lost both of my grandmothers within the last three years. I know how you are feeling and I send you a hug, too.
