That was simply the most beautiful thing I have read in a long time. It reminded me of my grandmother - who was very similar to yours.

What a fantastic post. It hit me right in the heart. I had a grandma like your Nana. I miss her to this day. She's been gone almost 23 years. She, too, was a study in love and forgiveness. I'm so glad your Nana spoke to you one last time.
