Nan

Had lunch with my great aunt yesterday. This will be the first Christmas without her husband, who passed away in July [his was the second funeral I've ever been to]

She misses him so much.


[side note: It got me thinking. I've never spent a Christmas with anyone. And by that I mean, actually waking up with them on Christmas day. Never spent New Years with anyone either.]


She just looks so broken sometimes. And it's nothing anyone of us can fix.

Greg will be home in January. He and I and probably Chris will go up to visit her, maybe with Mom and Dad in tow. Besides being our great aunt, she's been a surogate grandmother to us, since my grandmother (Nan's older sister) passed away when I was six.

Just wish I could help, I guess.
