As the snow slowly falls on the night you passed, I can’t help but think it’s you, giving us a sign that you’re now ok. As a blanket of white forms all around us and the footprints and tire tracks from the past are now being covered, it’s almost as if you’ve given us this beautiful fresh start to begin processing our lives without you in it even though we know it’s going to be so hard.

Fly high Nana. I hope you’re dancing among the stars in the sky.
