Nana passed away the day before yesterday, from pancreatic cancer. She was at home, surrounded by her chosen family, and as far as I know, it was quick and relatively painless.

I am... I don't know.

She was one of those seemingly indestructible tiny maritime women. She would have been 96 this spring, and when I saw her last February she was in perfect health, and in fact made a joke that one of those "assisted living" programs had refused her access because she was in such good shape. I thought she would live to be 100, at the very least.

Nana was the closest person I ever had to a grandmother. I'm going to miss her so much.



Nana's on the right. With her is my childhood friend E. and her father.

Thank you. Nana was wonderful, and I'm going to miss her, but it was a privilege to have her as long as I did.
