Bitter Sweet

My dear sweet Nana passed away this morning with my mom and dad and my aunt by her side. About 6 weeks ago she found out she had lung cancer. She moved to Montana to be closer to my mom and to help her with her cancer treatments. This was a very big move for her, she hasn't lived outside of her house for 50+ years. She was a homebody and didn't like to go anywhere, but when her Doctor suggested that she go be closer to family, she listened and went. She was brave and was enjoying meeting new friends, playing bridge, going to church services and visiting with family. Unfortunately this didn't last, and she quickly went down hill, requiring 24/7 care, and last week she entered hospice care, and decided to forgo further cancer treatments. I'm grateful for the opportunity that I had to visit with her this past July. I'll never forget the sweet memories that I have of her. She is in a better place free of her ailing body and mind. I'm sure she is having a wonderful family reunion seeing so many family and friends that have passed on.
