MY NANA PASSED AWAY LAST NIGHT

THIS MORNING I WOKE UP TO VICKY (MY SISTER) CALLING AND TELLING ME THAT NANA (MY AUNT NOLA) PASSED AWAY DURING THE NIGHT. SHE HAS BEEN SICK FOR SOMETIME AND WE KNEW IT WAS JUST A MATTER OF TIME BUT IT DOESN'T MAKE IT ANY EASIER. SHE WAS LIKE A SECOND MOM TO ME AND I LOVED HER WITH ALL MY HEART. I WILL MISS HER SO MUCH. I DON'T THINK I WILL BE ABLE TO GO TO THE FUNERAL (IN FLORIDA) BECAUSE I HAVE ALREADY BEEN OUT OF WORK FOR A MONTH WITH MY SURGERY. I DON'T THINK I CAN GET OFF AGAIN BECAUSE I WOULD WANT OFF ABOUT A WEEK. IF I'M GOING ALL THE WAY TO FLORIDA I WANT TO GET TO VISIT A LITTLE WHILE AND NOT HAVE TO RUSH RIGHT BACK. YOU KNOW GOING TO FLORIDA NOW WILL NEVER BE THE SAME WITH OUT NANA THERE. I WON'T KNOW WHERE TO GO OR WHERE TO STAY. I AM JUST GLAD THAT I GOT TO GO AT THE END OF AUGUST LAST YEAR TO FLORIDA AND SPEND SOME TIME WITH HER. I TOOK HER OUT TO EAT CHINESE HER FAVORITE (AND MINE). I ALSO TOOK HER TO A UNITED PENTECOSTAL CHURCH WHICH SHE ENJOYED SHE HADN'T BEEN ABLE TO GO FOR A LONG TIME AND WE ATE A DELICIOUS LUNCH AT HER SISTER-IN- LAW ( AND MY CHERISHED FRIEND) ELVA'S HOUSE.
