Rest in peace Nana

My nana passed away on Shane's birthday. It was not expected and very sad and guilt ridden for me. We were supposed to leave for Massachusetts yesterday so she could finally meet Shane. I was also going to tell her i was pregnant. Never happened. She once told me, 'i'm dying to meet Shane!' so the guilt is not sitting well. I'm fine with the death of older people especially when they are ready. And she was. If only I could've seen her one last time or called her. I last spoke with her around her birthday in October. We were supposed to go up new years eve but everyone was sick and she was so susceptible to getting sick that we didn't go. Time heals....

She was always funny, fun, laid back and very with it. She always knew the happenings of everyone, even celebrities. Whenever I called, I would say Hi Nana, it's Megan and she would say, Oh Megan! :) She was mother of 5, grandmother of 9, great-grandmother of 4 boys.

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
