I got the call at 3:30 this morning. Nan passed away quietly in her sleep at 2:30.

Devastated.

I believe that she wouldn't have wanted me to see her in the state she was before she let go. I am sad but I am glad that she is free of pain now.

I made the decision to take the train last night because I was anxious about driving alone. Higher powers were at work because there was no way I would have been able to hold myself to drive 7 hours to get here after I got the news this morning. I was able to sit on the train, read listen to music and think about happier times.

7 hours back home tomorrow, then life goes on.

I will miss you more than you will ever know, Nan. I love you.
