My grandma was special. We had an irreplaceable bond. When I was born, she said her life changed forever. I was the first and only granddaughter she ever had. She taught me how to make minute steak, stewed potatoes and lemon ice box pie. She taught me how to garden and love the outdoors. She taught me how to put other first and count your blessings. In March 2019, 6 months after we lost my grandpa, she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. She survived chemo, radiation and a major surgery. 2 weeks after being pronounced cancer free, she died suddenly from complications in most of her major organs. I thought we were at the finish line. I thought we had more time together. I thought we had won the fight. The truth is... there would never be enough hours, days or weeks with someone like her. She was 1 in a million. Today, I remember her and feel her presence surrounding me. I love you, Nana. ]]> 2020-10-10 20:03:36 UTC https://padlet.com/pancan/5aijs3z9f1g7h64l/wish/818885261 https://padlet.com/pancan/5aijs3z9f1g7h64l/wish/830475623 2020-10-14 23:13:13 UTC https://padlet.com/pancan/5aijs3z9f1g7h64l/wish/830475623
