A Very Sad Week

Nanny died on February 15th after a very long illness. We thought we had gotten her through this latest crisis, but she just gave up. At the end, she was refusing to eat much of anything. She kept saying that she just wanted to rest in peace. I went to see her on Wednesday afternoon and she talked about how she loved her family and how she was ready to go. Soon after I arrived home the phone rang. It was the doctor telling me that she had passed away. We had a private graveside service on Monday with the family and just a few close friends. Now the process of getting back to something like normal begins.
