And in the dark, picture me in your mind.
Nonna's gone. She passed peacefully a couple of hours ago.
Even though I had steeled myself, it was still somewhat of a jolt. I'm doing alright, though, because I know she wanted to go for a long time, and she couldn't have gone in a quieter fashion.
The funeral will probably be Friday at the earliest. I'll fly home Thursday after class. At most, I'll miss one lecture of the class I'm TA-ing. Faculty will understand. She's already looking out for me.
I'm going to try to be social these next few days, because it will help to be around other people, thinking about other things, making friends and learning how to be a teacher just like she wanted for me.
Fly away, Nonna! I know you're probably already chatting up the man upstairs. You were the greatest lady. I'll miss you so much.
