But I know your heart belongs to someone you've yet to meet
Claire Theresa Shakespeare
So, last monday my brother called and told me that Nani went into a coma. She died wednesday morning. Nani had cancer for 15 years and fought it as long as she could. A few weeks ago she told me how annoying it was that her whole life she stayed healthy, never smoked or anything like that and shes the one who cant get rid of cancer.
My nani was the person I was closest with outside of my immediate family. She lived 3 houses away from me my entire life. I spent my summers with her in duxbury at the summer house. I get really mad when I think about all the stuff that shes going to miss-Luke and Zemiras wedding, MY wedding, her great grandkids. She was only 78. I'm really okay with all of this though. Really. I know shes up in heaven. I know Joey came and got her last wednesday and I know shes up there with my Pupa too. When my cousin Joey died, he was only 15, i was 12 and i didnt understand it at all-my uncle told me that joey is up in the stars now watching over me. I believe that to be true. I know that I will never walk alone.
It wont be hard to remember the good times because there were so many. We'll never forget Nani because I'm exactly like her in most ways. I'm always on time, I nag and I get that shrill voice when someone is ticking me off. I'm a little italian gal just like she was.
She planed her entire memorial service-the whole thing. thats just how she was. There is a beautiful indian poem written on the back of her prayer card, i'll have to type it up soon.
